Rejected at the inn and born in a stable, Jesus' humble birth speaks to the rejection and displacement many feel today. Yet, in the face of rejection, Jesus offers an open invitation to all. The manger scene is not just a symbol of poverty, but a symbol of God's radical welcome. From the lowly shepherds to the foreign wise men, Jesus' birth story shows that God welcomes everyone—outcasts, strangers, and those who have been marginalized. This message will challenge us to adopt the same posture of welcome in our own lives. Just as Jesus invites us to come to Him as we are, so too are we called to welcome others into His presence with open arms. Join us as we explore how the way of Jesus is one of hospitality and radical inclusion, calling us to extend the same welcome that we have received from God.

Whether you are here for the first time or the fourth time, we'd love to connect with you and help you get oriented and find your place within our church. As a bonus, we will donate $5 for every new connection we receive to a charity that we are passionate about supporting. Currently, we are supporting Flow Without Bounds Ministries, a local outreach serving the Kin Village and Trinity Square neighborhoods. Your participation helps support their mission to transform lives through practical care, mentorship, and sharing the love of Jesus Christ.

We are committed to equipping families with lessons and tools to help children look to God for answers. Here’s how we engage your children during the service:

Service Schedule: Please check in your child at the desk upstairs before the service. Children stay with their families for the first 15 minutes of the service and are then dismissed to their classes.

Power Up! (Birth - Grade 5):

• Pre-School Program (18 months - 3 years): Room 3 is now open for toddlers, led by Ms. Verna and other leaders. During the “What’s Happening in Power Up!?” moment, please accompany your toddler to the front of the sanctuary, and then to Room 3 for their class. Parents will wait outside while children enter the classroom.
• School Aged Program (Kindergarten - Grade 5): This program remains the same for kindergarten to grade 5. Children will be dismissed ~15 minutes after the service starts, following the “What’s Happening in Power Up!?” moment. Learn more >>
• Nursery & Parent Supervision (Under 18 months and others who need it): Room 4 and the lobby are open for parents who wish to stay with their younger children or those who need extra supervision, with livestream of the service.

Extension (Gr. 6 - 8):

• Youth typically head downstairs to Room 10 after dismissal (~15 minutes into the service). However, on the first Sunday of each month (Communion Sunday), Youth will remain in the service. Learn more >>



Grades 9 and above stay in the service every Sunday.

Our Prayer Team is available to pray with you or for you. They will be at the front, back and around the auditorium after the service for those who are attending in-person. As for those who are attending online, fill out our prayer request form and we will be sure to pray for you.
