You are Welcome Here
We gather for worship and teaching regularly, while at the same time living life together in community like extended families. Because the world is full of challenges and difficulties, we’re on a mission to partner with God in bringing heaven to greater Fort Wayne and beyond. Here’s what that looks like:
Vibrant Relationship with God
We believe the starting point for everything is to encounter Jesus, be changed from within, and live out those changes in everyday life.
Authentic Community
Following Jesus is done best in a community that eats together, prays together, plays together, and lives like a growing family.
Compelling Mission
Everyone experiences brokenness and difficulty, and God has given us a mission to help people experience both forgiveness and freedom.
Common Questions
What do I do when I arrive?
Feel free to park wherever you like. (The front parking lot has a special row for parents with small kids!)
Once you walk in, we encourage you to say hello to someone and let them know you’re new. We have a Connection Center right by the fireplace with more information about Grace Gathering and free coffee at the cafe. If you have young kids, you can check them in towards the back of the cafe lobby.
What’s a typical service like?
We see our services as a time to celebrate what God has done, experience his presence, and to be prepared to live differently for the week ahead.
We usually start with engaging worship, which helps us become more aware of God. Then someone will teach from the Scriptures about the life God is calling us into. Lastly, we’ll finish with a time to respond in worship and prayer.
What can I expect for my kids?
Your first step is to head to the back of the cafe lobby and check your kids in.
For birth through kindergarten, we have people who would love to watch them for you during the service so they can play and learn. For elementary kids, they worship with everyone at the beginning near the front, then take off for a special interactive teaching and small groups.
What should I wear?
Don’t feel like you have to dress up. Most people wear casual attire, but you are welcome to wear whatever makes you comfortable.
Can I come if I'm...?
We are a church who welcomes people from all life experiences:
Young, old, male, female, rich, poor, religious, atheist, married, single, divorced or living together, gay, straight, transgender, current or recovering addict, left-wing, right-wing, apolitical, black, white, brown, church background, no church background… and everything in between.
Every single person is made in the image of God, is worthy of love, experiences the pain of sin and brokenness, and can know Jesus personally.
