Church Life

An opportunity for Pastor Trey and Janie, the Church Council Chair to hear from the congregation. These meetings will take place at our Westside Campus and will be just over an hour. It is a great opportunity for sharing and hearing what other members are experiencing. Come and be a part of it!

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.

On Wednesday, August 20th, 6-8pm, at the Westside Campus, we will be launching an 11 week course called Practicing the Way. This course is designed to help those desiring to imitate Jesus. In this course, we will explore how we can become like Jesus by doing what Jesus did. Meals and childcare (birth-4th grade) will be provided. Make sure to sign up for this transformative class that will provide real rest and renewal in your life. Sign up below!

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.

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.

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.

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.
