Preview Service Series


Preview Service Series: “Cultivating a Connecting Culture”

This fall we are gearing up to launch into weekly worship services. We will explore the kind of church culture we are working to cultivate. We are calling it a “connecting culture”- an environment where people naturally gravitate into a deeper relationship with God, others, and the world around us. We believe there are five vital nutrients that need to be present to create this kind of culture- trust, acceptance, truth, healing and connection. Take away even one of these, and the culture will not be able to flourish. But with each one present we will flourish.

We hope you’ll come as you are, make a connection and bring others with you.

Sept. 30- “Cultivating a Connecting Culture- a Culture of Trust”
What would it take for you to trust yourself, to trust other people, to trust God? What would it look like to be a part of a community where trust is the norm?

Oct. 14- “Cultivating a Connecting Culture- a Culture of Acceptance”
Have you ever felt like you could really just be yourself with another person or in a group? Or have you never known what it’s like to be accepted for who you are and how God created you?

Oct. 28- “Cultivating a Connecting Culture- a Culture of Truth”
What are the lies the world feeds us, and we gladly accept? What would happen if we spoke the truth to others, and they spoke truth into our lives?

Nov. 11- “Cultivating a Connecting Culture- a Culture of Healing”
Everybody’s broken. Not everyone finds healing. Is there a path that leads to hope and wholeness?

Nov. 25- “Cultivating a Connecting Culture- a Culture of Connection”
I’m lonely. You’re lonely. Why can’t we find a way to connect? Is there a way to connect?
