Due to the cold temperatures and the condition of the roads and our parking lot, the following activities have been cancelled.
The Loft (Wednesday)
Ladies Craft Night (Thursday)
Your safety is important to us. Please exercise caution if you venture outside.
We are cancelling all services and events for January 5, 2025 due to the incoming snow storm.
Join us for a special online service we have put together. We believe that this teaching from Waste the Haste is worth hearing again. Enjoy this online experience.
Please be safe and wise in the storm and cold weather. For those who have neighbors who are elderly, please check on them regularly. We are praying for your safety. We are trusting that you will have what you need and that with your extra you can be generous to those around you in need.
God is with us! That is good news and why we are unshakeable regardless whatever storm we face.
Please reach out if you become in need. 913-890-4050.
Jesus used culturally relevant stories to timeless truths about the Kingdom of God. We are using million dollar stories to share the kingdom truths of the gospel. This is a great time to come, to invite, and to see God transform your life and someone else’s life.
These teachings will not be available on demand. You can only experience At the Movies while at a service on site or at church online. We will re-stream the services regularly at church online. Invite your friends and family to watch it there if they cannot join us on site.
June 6: Spider-man: No Way Home
June 16: The Martian (Father’s Day)
June 23: Wonka
June 30: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Each week, you will receive notes that will share the kingdom truths that lead us to know God and follow Jesus so you can experience the full life He wants for you. Those notes and cue sheets will be posted weekly on our “messages” page
Save the images below to your device to send to others and invite them to join you.
Here are the exciting things that will be different during “At the Movies.”
MESSAGES: We will still have engaging preaching that will inspire and challenge you to grow in your faith and follow Jesus. We will use movie clips to share biblical truths to lead you to grow in your faith and follow Jesus—but the gospel won’t change. You will receive notes with a “Talk-it-over” so you can talk with a friend or your family and follow Jesus together.
We will continue to sing songs that focus our hearts and minds on God and have times where we pray together so we can share Jesus with one another.
POPCORN: That irresistible buttery popcorn will be FREE and you can eat as much as you want. We know it will be before lunch, but we know popcorn is awesome regardless what time of day it is.
MIDDLE & HIGH SCHOOL VIP SECTION & WRAP PARTY: Middle & High School students are invited to our VIP Section. You’ll know exactly where it’s at! Plus, all Middle & High School students are invited to a “Wrap” party in the Loft with snacks and drinks right after each service. This party will be about 15 minutes and then students will be released to go home. So parents, please plan to stay a little extra so your student may connect with others their age.
We will not have Middle School Services or High School Underground during At the Movies. Make sure they join our VIP experience! We will also not have MS/HS services on July 3 or July 7. Services will resume on July 10.
We will be promoting our KiDS on June 5th. All of our K-5th graders will be transitioning to their next age group. For our PreKs, they will promote based on their birthday. Outgoing 5th Graders will promote to the Middles School Service at 9:30am on Sundays.
We want to make this as easy of a transition for your KiDS. If you have any concerns about your child, please contact our Family Team.

We continue our series tomorrow. We all struggle with the inclination to promote ourselves. This is a response out of insecurity. Come and learn how our desire to make a name for ourselves is something that humanity has dealt with for a long time—and it is toxic.

We are on mission together loving Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and sharing Jesus in our neighborhoods. We want to empower you to be on this mission to B.L.E.S.S. your neighbors by throwing a Driveway Movie Night.
Why host a Driveway Movie Night? One reason, to build relationships with your neighbors and create the opportunity to eat together and get to know one another’s story. This is also a great way to listen to their story and learn how you can pray for them. You may even have the chance to share Jesus by praying with a neighbor during your Driveway Movie Night!
We have created a few Driveway Movie Night Kits to help you pull this off. Or you can use your own tv or projector to throw your own Driveway Movie Night. If you would like to learn more or if you’d like to reserve a Driveway Movie Night Kit, click the link below.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our Middle & High School Students. Just a reminder that we won’t have services tonight. Enjoy your Thanksgiving with family!
As we continue to safely gather on site and online, we want to keep you informed of what's going on and be sure you can connect with us so we can continue to pray for and serve you.
Please take 2-4 minutes to fill out this check-in survey to let us know how you are doing and your comfort level of returning to services on site.
Our KiDS services are open at 9:30am for walkers and up. We want to continue to safely serve the families who come. As soon as we have enough leaders, we will re-open our KiDS environments for our 11:00am service. Let us know if you want to help make this happen.
This pandemic has helped us realize how much we need to be in community with one another. We will be posting opportunities for you to join an online group or a group in someone's home.
Racial reconciliation is a gospel matter. Join us for the first conversation where we will learn to listen as we continue to be in prayer for our black community. This will be hosted on zoom.

We are grateful that we have been able to re-opened our building for limited services. We are moving forward with re-opening our KiDS ministries for limited services, too.
As we continue to regather on campus or online, we want to make sure we stay connected with you. Please let us know if we can pray for you or care for you in any way.
On August 2nd, we will begin limited services for KiDS ministries. You can hear more about what that will look like by watching Trina's video linked above. We also have updated our FAQ page with more information for you.
Our Middle and High School students will start back on August 5 at 6:30pm. We are making the environment safe for them and we are re-connect with all our students who are able to come.
We begin a new series in three Sundays that I hope you won't miss. What happens when our pursuit of happiness drives our beliefs, thoughts, and actions? We will look at what should drive your beliefs, especially when it comes to life and liberty.
This pandemic has left many people feeling disconnected. This should not be in the local church, however many people are needing that connection more than ever. This is why we have LifeGroups for people to connect. Will you prayerfully consider hosting a 6-week Life Group beginning on Aug 30? You can do this in your home or online.
All groups will be encouraged to sync up with our series, Like A Good Neighbor. Attend our Group Host Rally on Aug 9 at 12:30pm.
I am so grateful to be on mission together with you!

We are looking forward to seeing those who are ready to return to our public gatherings as we re-open our building this week. We have some information in the video above that is important to make this safe for all and to help us ensure that we can continue to publicly gather.
8:15am Service: Best for those who are higher risk
9:30am & 11:00am: We ask that families with kids coming attend only these services.
Our seating will help you maintain a safe social distance while we worship together.
We encourage everyone, 6 years and older, to wear a mask to the 9:30 or 11:00am services and keep them on until you are seated.
To keep our 8:15am service safe for those who are at higher risk, we are requiring masks to be worn until you are seated. For those who have medical conditions that restrict you from wearing a mask, please follow your directives and please come to our 8:15am service.
I encourage you to adopt an attitude I am having:
"Wearing a mask is not about your view,
it's about who is next to you."
These efforts will help us gather safely and help us ensure that we will be able to continue to attend together.
Please let us know if you will be staying home while we re-open our building. This will help us know how we can best stay connected with you and help you be cared for in this season.
Our bulletin is now fully digital. Make sure you are subscribed by filling out this form. This will keep you informed as we re-open our different ministries and it will give you the link to our teaching notes for Sunday.
I am grateful to be on mission together with you as we are loving Jesus, becoming like Jesus, and sharing Jesus.
