God has a heart for the orphan, the widow, the poor, and the sick. He cares for the most vulnerable and marginalized people. We want to be Christ-like and do the same. So each year, our Family of Churches rallies around our partner organizations for Serve the City Weekend. 

This year, Serve the City will take place on Saturday, March 16, so save the date on your calendar!

Recovery is a group that meets in a 10-week cycle to help people achieve freedom and healing from issues that seem unbeatable in their lives. We meet Monday evenings at 6:00 pm in our Barnwell Building at 1614 Barnwell Street. We gather for a short time of worship and teaching; then, we break up into gender-specific small groups for discussion, encouragement, and prayer.

Recovery is for anyone facing a battle in their life—personal sin struggles, dealing with emotional scars, or any other issue. It's a safe, family environment where you can come and deal honestly and openly with your struggles and let Jesus begin to heal and free you amid biblical family.

We will celebrate Ash Wednesday at 7pm on Wednesday, February 22 at 1800 Blanding St.

Traditionally, Ash Wednesday is the day Christians gather to receive ashes marked on their forehead. Ashes represent lamenting, whether over one’s sin or sin done to them. (Gen 18:27, Job 30:19, Job 42:6, Isaiah 61:3). This day is in no way about condemnation. It’s a time in which we can be honest with God, with ourselves, and with each other. 

Childcare will not be available.
