Help for the Homeless
Every Sunday in November
During the month of November, we are collecting donations of ready made meals, soap, water bottles, rags, deodorant, toothbrushes and toothpaste for the homeless. During Christmas Kickoff this year, you will have a chance to assemble a "care bag" to keep in your car. When you see a homeless person out and about, we challenge you to give them the care bag.
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:
I Don’t Need Jesus to be a Good Person
“I Don’t Need Jesus to Be a Good Person.”
Can someone be a genuinely good person and still need Jesus? What about someone who doesn't believe in God but lives a more moral life than many Christians?
In this message, we explore one of the biggest objections to Christianity through the surprising story of Cornelius in Acts 10. Cornelius was generous, prayerful, respected, and devoted to doing good. Yet God still sent someone to tell him about forgiveness. Why?
We'll explore three important questions:
Why would a good person need saving?
What if being good isn't the same as being right with God?
Why can't our goodness save us, but Jesus can?
Discover why Christianity isn't about good people earning their way into heaven. It's about a Savior who offers forgiveness and eternal life to everyone who believes in Him.
Key Scriptures: Acts 10:1–43, Matthew 22:37–38, Romans 3:23, Romans 6:23, John 3:16
At Essential Church, we're a church for people who feel church isn't for them. Whether you're exploring faith, wrestling with doubts, or have followed Jesus for years, you're welcome here!
