Wednesday Night Prayer
Every Wednesday
Join us for a weekly time of prayer at The 2101. When we meet God, we want him to say “Essential is a PRAYING church. This prayer time will not be focused on anything in particular, it will just be a meaningful time of prayer for whatever is on your heart.
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:
The Greatest Question You Will Ever Ask
Most people ask, "Do I like God?" But what if that's the wrong question?
In this opening message of our new apologetics series, we'll explore a better question: Is God real? If He is, then everything changes.
We'll wrestle with some of the biggest objections people have to Christianity: Why does God allow suffering? What about war in the Old Testament? Can faith really be reasonable? Is Christianity simply blind belief, or is there evidence worth considering?
We'll look at the eyewitness testimony of Jesus' followers, fulfilled prophecy, archaeology, the resurrection, and why millions of people throughout history—including many in our own church—have become convinced that Jesus is who He claimed to be.
Most importantly, we'll discover what the Bible says faith actually is. Faith isn't pretending something is true. Faith is trusting the evidence God has provided and choosing to trust Him with your life.
Whether you're skeptical, curious, or have followed Jesus for years, this message will challenge you to consider the question that matters most.
