We saved a seat for you!
1. You can’t truly know God on your own. 2. Community teaches you how to actually bear one another’s burdens. 3. Community teaches you that the Body of Christ isn’t just a metaphor. 4. Community teaches you that you aren’t as patient as you thought. 5. Community teaches you what forgiveness truly is. 6. Community teaches you how God can work through flawed people. 7. God made us to know Him not just alone, but in community.
You don't need to perform to belong.
True community takes work. But it’s so worth it.
God designed you for community
"Better together" is not just a tagline. It's theology.
Social media isn’t a replacement for true community.

Prayer For Church Community
Make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. - Philippians 2:2
Community changes everything. Join us for MDWK!
Some things are better in person. Church is one of them.
The Table: A place where everyone is invited.
Attending is not the same as belonging.
Small groups are launching!
Don't walk alone
1: Isolation doesn't always look like being alone. 2: It's not replying to text or calls. 3: It's staying quiet in a room full of people. 4: It's not sharing what's really going on. 5: It's pulling away when life is overwhelming. 6: Isolation might feel comfortable, but it's slowly disconnecting you. 7: But this is your reminder, we weren't meant to do life alone. God created us for community and relationships.
1: No matter your story. 2: No matter your background. 3: No matter where you are in your faith journey. 4: There’s a place for you in this community.
Unity creates space for God's blessings
