I would like our church to feel like home (a safe, loving home) when you walk through the doors, that it will feel real and authentic.
I believe people aren’t longing for something hip and cool and trendy nor are they looking for something polarized or judgmental or shallow, but something real, authentic, something of substance that speaks of Jesus’ presence. Jesus’ welcoming, loving, grace-filled presence.
