an imperfect community of inclusive, authentic Jesus-followers.
Join us for Worship
God created us to have fun, to be creative and to think intentionally. We hope our weekly gatherings are uplifting and challenging. We want to create a safe place to hear what is often a dangerous message. Through music, in-depth TED-style talks, and creative responses, we hope to create a space where God can give you the nudge you need to take that next step in your life.
