House
As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.
Proverbs 27:17
House Churches are how we experience and express the Kingdom of God.
It is our desire to be extended spiritual families on mission who are in close relationship with God and each other. We engage in fellowship, meals, and prayer as we listen to God’s voice for His direction in our lives and mission. Our House Churches join together to display the Kingdom of God and share the good news of King Jesus with our neighbors, surrounding communities, and the world. We express ourselves in House Churches through three dimensions of relationship: UP, IN & OUT.
UP
We relate with God the Father through Jesus and the Spirit, the dynamic truth of God’s Word, and by reflecting together on “What is God saying to us?” and “What are we going to do about it?”

IN
We build inviting, interdependent relationships with one another as we live life together carrying out the many “one another” expressions of community mentioned in the New Testament.

OUT
We encourage one another to live outwardly (together and as individuals), following God’s Word and the promptings of the Spirit to share the gospel and do good works to advance the Kingdom of God.

Journey
Sunday Brunch after Gathering: 11:45 A.M. to 1:30 P.M.
We practice discipleship in everyday life, learning to balance our relationships with God, one another, and the people around us. We gather over lunch on Sundays to fellowship and share what God is saying and doing in our lives, especially through that week's message. Many of us also regularly join together in men's and women's huddles for deeper times of discipleship. We are learning to be more intentional missionally by focusing on persons of peace and seeking opportunities to serve our community together.
