Who We Are

We are… well, we’re something different. We absolutely love Christ, but we are dissatisfied with the status quo of “church as usual.” We don’t have most of the things that a typical church service has – there are no pews, no stained glass windows, no hymn books – in fact, we meet in a high school cafeteria. But, we believe that church is not about a building or a list of programs – it’s about people. So, our focus is on caring for the people around us and valuing them as individuals, just as Jesus told us to. That’s why we seek after authentic community that embraces deep teaching and discussion as well as social responsibility, in a place where it is safe to talk about, question, and even bring doubts about Jesus and the Bible. That’s why we seek to make room around the table for people who know that they shouldn’t have to be mirror images of the traditional church member in order to talk about and follow after Christ. The dress is casual, the music is similar to what you might hear

in a coffee shop, there is free coffee and donuts, and there are activities for children and preschoolers (or for those who prefer to stay together, we gladly make room for your kids in the service). We’re not perfect, we’re not ever going to be perfect, but we want to be open and we want to be real. Wherever you find yourself on your spiritual journey we invite to join us for a cup of coffee (or three) and listen to a practical, meaningful message about Jesus and the Bible and the significance they claim to speak into our lives.
