What are services like?
Our gatherings are roughly 90 minutes and consist of singing and celebrating God in the gospel of Jesus Christ, teaching from the Holy Scriptures and partaking in the the Lord's table as a community. Our sermons are biblically driven, culturally engaged and our music is contemporary and theologically oriented.
What is the community like?
We hope to create a place in culture where people who are not particularly religious can find traction in a connection with God.
We don't take ourselves too seriously, but take God seriously
We like to laugh, yet we weep in suffering
We teach the Bible, yet into culture
We want to be a place of deepening Christians, doubters, skeptics and learners
We embrace depth and theology, but not bookish uselessness
We embrace thinking and feeling not wanting to be Vulcans or those who only watch romatic comedies
We welcome the stranger and encourage the friend
We believe in young men more than they believe in themselves
We want to be full of Jesus, not full of it
We don't have all the answers, but have confidence in truth
What if I'm not a Christian?
Come and hang with us

Some of my greatest joys in life are from the gifts God has given in my wife Kasey (married 1996), and my kiddos Kayla (circa 2001), Kylene (circa 2003), and Thomas Reid (circa 2006).
