You Belong Here
We don’t care what you wear, how many piercings or tattoos you have, what candidate you voted for or even if you know anything about the Bible. We are a church filled with people just like you with every kind of story imaginable.
It’s dark, it’s loud, and it smells a lot like coffee. We love Jesus.
We love the Bible, and we love our church.
We’re having a ton of fun, but we aren’t just playing around.
We love what we get to do here.
We think you’ll love it too.

Last week’s Teaching:
What Did God Leave Out?
What if the Bible you were handed is missing books? What if church leaders decided what you were allowed to read? What if writings about Jesus were buried, suppressed, or branded heretical because they challenged the version of Christianity that won? Those accusations are everywhere. The Gospel of Thomas. The Gospels of Judas and Mary. The Nag Hammadi Library. The Apocrypha. And, oh yeah, the books of Enoch. Some people call them lost books of the Bible. Others say they expose a story the church would rather you never hear. So what are they? Where did they come from? Who decided what belonged in the Bible? Were books actually removed? And are we missing something Christianity was supposed to remember? Join us as we walk into the fringe. Bring your questions. Bring your skepticism. What did God leave out?
