Perhaps you’ve seen our billboard, our banners, our T-Shirts, or our yard signs - and you’re wondering why does this church keep saying, “You need others. Find them here.” Let me share why we are ‘all in’ to sharing this message.

1. We believe this is true. God designed all human beings to live in and do life with others. Specifically, God designed and created the Church, the Christian Community, the Living Body of Jesus to be the place and the people who offer relationships of hope, help, and love to all people in the name of and because of Jesus.

2. There are people out-loud or internally in our city asking, “How do I navigate, survive, or even thrive in the midst of a culture that seems broken, violent, chaotic, and which produces so much uncertainly and anxiety?” Our answer is Jesus: his ways, his work, and…his people!

3. There really are people in our community and area who are alone. They may or may not be lonely, but certainly more and more people are detached from or not a part of meaningful, positive circles of friends or family.

So, the invitation we are giving to people is to connect. To become a part of a meaningful, positive Christian Community. Find your way to the Grand View building - join us for worship, small groups, and our different fun & fellowship events. All are invited to be a part of something bigger, and something that could have a life-changing impact on life! Our hope is that this will lead to more and more people finding others. Here. So that they do not have to do life alone. May God help us to live up and live-out our bold invitation!
