Jesus spoke of Community in terms of Family. In fact, the Church is meant to be a family system. What fears hold us back from going all in on a familial community? What do we gain from it? Tonight we explore how this sort of community can become transformative for followers of Jesus.

Summer Worship Night
August 6, 2023
The right perspective of worship sees the Church as entering into the eternal worship that is already taking place. We do not initiate it - we join it. As we wrap up our summer together, we sing our hallelujah with the saints of old and alongside our brothers and sisters from every nation, tribe and tongue.
Practice of Fasting & Feasting
July 30, 2023 • Pastor Jack Schull • Mark 6:16–18
The spiritual practices of fasting and feasting are always trying to guide us in a Godward direction - to help us experience him, commune with him and connect with His grace more profoundly. Fasting is exercising the beauty of restraint in order to crave for our Heavenly Father more. Feasting is learning to savor the goodness of God, His gifts, the relationships He’s blessed us with - to grow our gratitude for all He’s done and is actively still doing.
Practice of Serving
July 23, 2023 • Pastor Jack Schull • John 13:1–17, Mark 10:41–45
In a world so often focused on self-promotion and ‘seeking to be served’, we’re invited to a counter cultural norm. We’re to follow the Savior who took up a towel, went to a cross, emptied himself and allowed the Father to Lift Him Up after he ‘came not to be served, but to serve.’ The practice of serving is the way of our Savior and is non-negotiable for any of His followers.
