Welcome Lunch
Every other month, we host a Welcome Lunch at the Westside Campus for those interested in membership, baptism, or just wanting to know more about the church. Here you will meet with Pastor Trey and Church Council Chair, Janie Lampo, as they talk about where we’ve been, where we’re going, and why you belong.

Maundy Thursday
On Thursday, April 17th, 6:30pm, at the Downtown Campus, we will be gathering together for a Maundy Thursday Service. This service will help us walk through the experiences of Holy Week, including the death of Jesus. Before we can celebrate Jesus’ resurrection, we must first acknowledge his crucifixion. By participating in this service, your Easter celebration will be a richer experience.

Youth Nights
On Sunday nights from 6pm-8pm, we host our Youth Nights at the Westside Campus that will include those in 5th-8th grade! This will be a night focused on helping youth love God, love neighbor, and love self. We will have food, games, messages, and circles for conversations and questions. If your looking for a night for youth to have fun and explore faith, this is the place!

Circles
This is the primary way we make disciples that imitate Jesus. Circles are groups of 12-16 that meet weekly or bi-weekly. The goal of Circles is to practice imitating Jesus together so that you can become people that love God, love neighbor and love self. We have Circles that meet at different times, days, and frequencies.

Prayer
As a community, we form ourselves around the Lord’s prayer three times daily. In the morning, we sit with God in silence seeking to be formed by God. Midday, we pray for people and places. In the evening, we pray for ourselves through gratitude, confession, and paying attention to the ways God moved through our day.
-
Fasting
As part of the Wesleyan tradition, we carry out the practice of fasting once a week. The Wesleyan fast is on Wednesdays or Fridays until 3pm. If you cannot fast from food due to medical reasons, practice abstinence from media or some sort of rhythm that is consistent in your life. The practice of fasting and abstinence is to draw us towards humility and obedience. It helps us to carry our crosses the way that Jesus carried his.
-
Sabbath
As a community, we are encouraged to take 24 hours to stop, rest, delight, and worship from Saturday dinner to Sunday dinner. We encourage Saturdays nights for friends and Sunday nights for family. On Sunday mornings, we gather as a community for one of our worship services. This gives us an opportunity to be human beings and not human doers.
