LIVING FAITHFULLY IN A COMPLEX WORLD

Chapel (Downstairs)

How do we follow Jesus faithfully in a world filled with difficult questions, competing voices, cultural challenges, and differing Christian viewpoints? Through thoughtful conversation rooted in Scripture and informed by current events, this class will explore how we can live with wisdom and humility, as we bear faithful witness to Christ in today's world.

The story of your life is unfolding right before you. Some days you might feel like a background extra and other days the main character. Ultimately, your life is part of a bigger story—one that God has been telling since the beginning of time. God wants to take you on an adventure only He could dream up. Your role is to trust Him and follow where He leads. The journey is long and in some places scary, but He is with you. The only question that remains: Will you join Him? Adventure awaits. Now is the time. Let’s see what God has in store for you!

CLASSES FOR KIDS

During Community Hour, we will have programming for kids of all ages while their parents are in their classes or small groups. Our nursery will be open for those under three years old and we will have a class for our preschool through 5th graders! We will be using the curriculum, the Biggest Story to go through the Bible all together.

Our goal for our kids during Community Hour is to build relationships with adults and kids in the class, to create fun time for kids to connect as their parents are, and to have a second hour of discipleship for our youngest congregants.

IMPORTANT LOGISTICS!  A caregiver must remain in the building during our Community Hour to maintain safety for their children. Caregivers will sign their child(ren) into both programs when they arrive for the Worship Gathering at 9:30 a.m.  When signing your child(ren) in, be sure to check "9:30 a.m. and 10: 30 a.m," Caregivers will need to pick up their child(ren) after the Gathering and drop them back off in Base Camp (K-5th grade) and Preschool (Nursery-Preschool) for Community Hour.
