Our Vision for a Neighborhood Church
When Jesus entered the world, he stepped right into a cultural pressure cooker—tension, division, and exhausted people. And he didn’t shout from the sidelines or build a movement on outrage. He simply showed up—in homes, neighborhoods, around tables, and in the middle of real life. That’s incarnational living.
As we step into this new season, we’re drawing a 3-mile circle around the church and prayerfully choosing one neighborhood inside that circle to pour into—not as a project, but as neighbors.
Instead of asking people to “come to church,” we’ll step into the rhythms they already have. If they’re doing Trunk-or-Treat, block parties, yard sales, school events, or holiday parades—we’ll be there. Helping. Serving. Making friends.
And as relationships grow, we’ll meet real needs in practical ways—things like Parents Night Out, DivorceCare, summer camps, financial classes, or whatever actually benefits the people who live there.
No pressure. No bait-and-switch. Just consistent presence—letting love do the heavy lifting—so the message becomes obvious: God is here. God is good.
