Why Church? A Community Where You Matter.

When we are being the church who God calls us to be, we are one body and we need all the bits. When we are being the church who God calls us to be, you matter. We cannot be who we are called to be without you.

The Church is Not What We Thought it Was

I’ve been saying it for weeks now, in one way or another: the church is not what we thought it was. The church isn’t the building or the steeple. It’s not the sanctuary or the pulpit or the pews. It isn’t the classrooms or fellowship hall. The church isn’t even a place. It’s something… else.
