Our church isn’t in the best of neighborhoods by a long shot.

Lots of families without transportation leave home early to walk in from all directions hoping to make it on time. Some of us with cars have made pickup arrangements with them and drop them back home after service.

It’s an urban church.

Usually though, they choose to stay for another service or to serve others attending. Oftentimes, it’s their only excursion by car and their only anticipated social event for the week.

Upon closer inspection, we find many are families and seniors living on razor’s edge with little food or hygiene products, few changes of clothes, decade old shoes, and yet no mind to complain.

Their clothes are clean, their kids are well-mannered, and they rarely ask for any help unless you dig a little deeper and make an offer.

It’s their passion to worship, to connect, and to find contentment within their own situation that remains Sunday to Sunday as a lesson to those of us blessed with so much more.

It’s a great blend of people and a vibrant, active community with our core belief “come as you are” as the common multicultural thread.

Sunday services are 930am and 11am.

Think about it.
