Coming In November 🌶️ 💪 🦃

Chili Cook Off and Fall Hangout

[Add to Calendar]

Plan to stay after service on Sunday, November 1 for our Chili Cookoff, cinnamon rolls, and some hedge-apple chuckin’ out in the field!

Want to enter a chili? Sign up and let us know what you’re bringing. You absolutely do not have to bring anything to come — we just want everyone to stay, eat, laugh, and spend some time together.

The church will provide cinnamon rolls, Fritos, sour cream, cheese, drinks, and everything else.

Sign up here so we know how many are staying — and enter your chili if you want to compete!

I’m Staying for Chili!
Men’s Breakfast - November 7 at 8am

[Add to Calendar]

Guys, join us for breakfast in the Welcome Center at Real Life! We’ll get to know one another and hear your ideas for what a men’s ministry could look like as we consider launching next year.

Please register so we know how many to cook for. See Kevin Edwards 🥁 for more information.

Let Us Know You're Coming
Thanksgiving Dinner & Christmas Decorating

[Add to Calendar]

Stay after the morning service on Sunday, November 22, for Thanksgiving dinner! We’ll share a meal together, then get Real Life ready for Christmas.

We need folks to help supply the meal, so when you sign up, take a look at what’s needed and choose something you can bring. If you’re unable to bring food or stay to decorate, please come eat with us anyway!

Please sign up so we know how many to prepare for.

I'm Staying for Turkey!
A Yard At A Time Campaign

We’re continuing to work a yard at a time toward replacing carpet throughout much of Real Life. The project works out to about $32 per square yard, and we’re starting with the Fellowship and Family Rooms.

On Wednesday of this last week we ordered enough carpet for the Fellowship room, Family room and Conference room! 🎉 We also finished the drop ceiling in the Fellowship room!

So far, we’re received enough to cover 87 square yards.

Help Us Cover A Lot Of Ground
This Week's Message

"You’re Sent: Right Where You Are"
Pastor Corey • John 20:19-21, 1 Corinthians 7:17-24


The risen Jesus sends His people in the Holy Spirit’s power to make His Kingdom visible and to speak about the King. But where do we begin? Right where we are—with the people already near us. Our homes, workplaces, schools, neighborhoods, and daily routines are filled with people we have an opportunity to love, serve, and point toward Jesus.

As we conclude Yes, You: Called for Kingdom Purpose, we also open the door to Next Door: Where Kingdom Mission Begins. We don’t need a different life before we can live on mission—we need to see the life we already have differently. The question is not simply, “Where might Jesus send me someday?” It is, “Who is already near me today?”

Can’t be here in person on Sunday?

Our StudentLife Ministry meets on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 - 7:30p in the Welcome Center.

Can you help us feed our students on Wednesday evenings? Many of our students arrive directly from school activities and don’t have time to eat before group. When you provide a meal you’re not just feeding a body you’re showing love, concern, and setting our students up to be able to listen and interact instead of thinking about food—they’ve already got a lot on their minds.

Provide a Meal


Prayer Team:

This may be the most important thing that happens on Sunday mornings. Our prayer team meets at 9:30 in the Family Room and prays for YOU, the Sunday service, our volunteers, staff, guests and for transformation as we strive to look more like Jesus ever day.
  • If you have a prayer request please let us know!
  • For more information email Ray

Blanket Ministry Team:

Our blanket ministry provides blankets as a physical display of God’s love when needed most. Blankets are donated to those in the hospital or baby blankets are delivered to Branches Pregnancy Centers and other organizations.
  • If you’d like to help make blankets or want info email Jessica Pyle.
  • If you’d like to stop and pray over the blankets we have they are in the Family Room

Care Team:

Our Care Team meets with individuals following the service who are seeking prayer or wanting to take their next step with Jesus. If you’re good with people and have a heart to pray with and walk with people in that moment when God is stirring in their heart this might be a great ministry opportunity for you.

  • For more information email Terry

Cleaning Team:

This team helps us create a clean and welcoming environment for our guests and regulars who come to the building each week. A clean church shows our thankfulness for what God has provided and removes stumbling blocks to those we welcome to worship every Sunday and throughout the week.

If you’d like to join this group email Corey and we’ll get you the details.

Could you take Erin’s place on Nov 15th? Erin had surgery on her foot and is non-weight bearing. If you’ve got some time and could help fill the schedule on Nov 15 we’d love the help! Let Corey know if you can cover the date for us.
Cleaning Schedule:

October:

  • 25 - McCormick / Landreth

November:

  • 01 - Pyles
  • 08 - Pam Kretz
  • 15 - ???

🛄 Hungry? We have a FOOD PANTRY:
The Food Pantry is available to anyone at Real Life who may need help with a meal or more between paychecks or when struggling for various reasons. If you’d like to pick up a meal or two (or want to know more about this ministry) let pastor Corey know after the service.

Community Prayer
  • Please be in prayer for Frank Miller, Nancy’s husband. Last week Frank broke a hip and had a successful surgery but will require time to heal. He has been moved to Wesley Rehab and is in good spirits.
  • Bill Gault was taken to the VA on Thursday morning with chest pains. After a heart cath. this morning his right artery is 100% blocked and the center and left forks are 95% blocked. He is waiting for an open bed at KS Heart Hospital for what may be a quintuple (5) bypass.


  • Congratulations to Rebecca and Eli Coyne on the birth of their son, Tucker Wade Coyne born on 9/25/26 👶 🎉

A black out is when the power goes completely out—a brown out is when the electricity coming into the building (from Evergy) is significantly reduced. So while we had some lights, they operated about about half their normal output. This situation can be very damaging to electronics so all of our tech shut down. We were unable to use any stage lighting, microphones, audio equipment or computers. The band scrambled and put together some songs they could do acoustically (good job band) and we had service like we were back in the 1900’s. 🤣 Thanks everyone for sticking it out and shifting so well in a moment of crisis.Subscribe To Our Podcast If you are interested in Women’s Ministry Events please subscribe to the Women’s Ministry Posts.

The expansion is supposed to widen those two miles of Haverhill from 2 lanes to 4. The Weather Will Eventually Turn... El Niño is about to hit record breaking temps—higher than ever recorded in 76 years. What that means for Fall and Winter here in Kansas has yet to be seen but I do know one thing, until Jesus returns “cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, shall not cease” (Gen 8:22). What does this mean for us at Real Life? Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas are all lining up as our staff plans for our best Fall yet! This Sunday morning we’ll share information about the first even. 🌶️🎉 If you love Real Life help others find it! Our recently created Google profile had 128 interactions in September. By leaving a star review, or better yet, a written review (bonus points for pictures), Google surfaces our church to more people searching for connection, a church home or just what to do in the Augusta/ElDo area.

It is lived as our work, relationships, money, words, decisions, and treatment of others come under the reign of Jesus. Our ordinary lives become Kingdom work when we choose honesty, generosity, service, mercy, and faithfulness. The real life Jesus gives us is not separate from normal life. It is normal life lived through the Holy Spirit’s power as we daily surrender to the King.

Keep up with our student ministry; get important updates, event info, schedule changes and more by subscribing to our StudentLife posts!Keep up with everything our students are doing Every week during the school year our youth walk into Student Life carrying school pressure and big questions about who they are. For a few hours, they enter a place where they are known and reminded that they matter to God. And the first thing they do is sit around the table and share a meal. But it’s more than just feeding their bodies, it’s providing them with a sense of belonging. As they eat they talk, they laugh, they share... and they grow closer together. You don’t have to be in the room to make an impact. You can prepare a meal, join the meal rotation, or give money to help others prepare the meal. When you feed students, you’re not just filling plates—you’re creating space for God to work.

So far, we’re received enough to cover 62 square yards.Help Us Cover A Lot Of Ground This Week's Message "You Matter" Pastor Corey • Do you ever feel like Heaven must have a quota and somehow you made the cut. Jesus teaches us to begin our prayers with the words “Our Father.” Our relationship with God is deeply personal, but it was never meant to be private. Through Jesus, we are welcomed into God’s family and joined to a body where every person matters. In this message, we will see that we matter not because we are unusually visible, gifted, or important, but because God knows us, loves us, and has given us a place among His people.

For a few hours, they enter a place where they are known and reminded that they matter to God. And the first thing they do is sit around the table and share a meal. But it’s more than just feeding their bodies, it’s providing them with a sense of belonging. As they eat they talk, they laugh, they share... and they grow closer together. You don’t have to be in the room to make an impact. You can prepare a meal, join the meal rotation, or give money to help others prepare the meal.

He reaches backward into Israel’s Scriptures to help them understand where they are standing and trust God with what they cannot yet see. In Revelation 1, God identifies Himself as the Alpha and Omega, and then John turns and sees the risen Jesus standing among the churches. The One who died and rose is not distant from His people. He knows them, walks among them, and holds the keys of Death and Hades. Because Jesus holds the beginning and the end, we can remain faithful in the middle.

As we learn who He is and what it means to live under Jesus’ reign, that invitation becomes personal: Where do I fit, and what does faithfulness look like in my life? On Sunday, October 4, we begin Yes, You: Called for Kingdom Purpose. We’ll explore how Jesus welcomes us into the Father’s family, forms us through daily surrender, and sends us in the Holy Spirit’s power for the sake of others. You Matter. You’re Not Random. You’re Sent. This is the next step in learning to engage: recognizing that our homes, workplaces, schools, and relationships are places where we live out the Gospel together.

HAVERHILL ROAD CLOSURE: closed to through traffic EACH DIRECTION from 5-7:30 am/pm every day from Sept 12 - Oct 19. I need to apologize: Last Sunday, after pointing everyone to myreallife.faith and telling you to check out the message notes for Adonai it turns out that I forgot to publish them 🤦‍♂️ - they were all there, all ready, but I had forgotten to schedule them to go live on Sunday at 9am like I usually do. They are live now and I’m sorry if you went there and found the notes for El Shaddai instead of Adonai. There’s a Place for You God uses spiritual disciplines to help us look like Jesus and in the process, form us into a family. When we study, serve and give we’re worshipping God (giving glory to Him), we’re growing personally (to look more like Jesus) and the results of those disciplines benefit others (for their good). Disciplines like serving and giving make us look more like Jesus, and they shape the lives of the people we serve. When you give financially and serve at Real Life you’re helping students find a friend and safe space to ask questions and grow in faith. You’re helping kids not just learn about Jesus but learn how to get along with others in the church. You’re providing a place where a babies first experience with God is someone besides their parents who is loving them. You’re helping people who come in person or join us online find a place to belong, to explore faith and in some cases, find a family like they’ve never known. That’s why we always want to have a place for you to serve at Real Life and opportunities for you to give. Service isn’t just about getting a job done and giving financially isn’t just about getting the bills paid—these are disciplines close to the heart of God, and He uses them to form us and others. If we want to help every person possible, it takes every person present. Where might God be inviting you to step in or step up?Serve at Real LifeGive at Real Life A Yard at a Time Last Sunday we introduced our next building project: replacing the carpet throughout much of Real Life.

Jesus first uses the word Abba in Gethsemane, calling out to His Father as He faces the cross. Then Paul tells us that through Jesus, the Spirit teaches us to cry that same name: “Abba, Father.” Jesus did not simply come to forgive us. He came to bring us into His relationship with the Father — not as slaves trying to earn our place, but as sons and daughters who belong in the family. We’ll also look at the story of the prodigal sons and ask what it means to live in the Father’s house without ever really knowing the Father’s heart.

Weekly UPdate 9/13/26
Welcome to the weekly update 👋 This is your one-stop spot for everything happening in our church family. From kids to adults, small groups to special events, here's how you can get connected over the next seven days. New Here? We’d love to connect with you!New Here? Click Here! Today, September 11th, we pause to remember Today is a day many of us still remember vividly. We remember where we were, what we felt, and how quickly life changed for so many families. Twenty-five years later, we remember those who were lost, honor those who served and sacrificed, and pray for the families who still carry the weight of that day. We also thank God for the courage, compassion, and selflessness we witnessed in the midst of tragedy. May we be people who continue to love our neighbors, serve one another, and bring hope into a hurting world. May we never forget. This Sunday, September 13th: Prayer Team: Meets in the Family Room at 9:30a (anyone can join) 10:00am Worship Gathering: Join us for Sunday service in person or online. Kids Ministry: Age-specific programming during the service each Sunday Management Team Mtg: After service in the conference room Upcoming Events: The BEMA LifeGroup will begin meeting again this coming Wednesday, Sept 16, at 6:30p. Anyone is invited - we’ll be looking at Episode 57 of the BEMA discipleship podcast among other things. FOR THOSE WHO TAKE HAVERHILL ROAD: Due to the turnaround at the refinery Haverhill road will be closed to through traffic EACH DIRECTION from 5-7:30 am/pm every day from Sept 12 - Oct 19. This may primarily affect those coming during the week for lifegroups or studentlife events. There’s a Place for You Last Sunday morning, Pastor Corey shared that when we serve, God uses our service to form us into a family, to make us more like Jesus, and to shape the lives of the people we serve. That’s why we always want to have a place for you to serve at Real Life. Service isn’t just about getting a job done—it’s close to God’s heart, and God uses it to form us. This week, one person stepped up to help in the nursery, and another volunteered to provide a meal for our Student Ministry. We’re grateful for both! Amber is still looking for 3 more adults willing to love on our smallest Lifers. If we want to help every person possible, it takes every person present. Where might God be inviting you to step in and serve?Serve at Real Life A Yard at a Time Last Sunday we introduced our next building project: replacing the carpet throughout much of Real Life. We’re going to tackle it a yard at a time. The project works out to about $32 per square yard, and we’ll purchase and install the carpet section by section as funds are available. We’re starting with the Fellowship and Family rooms. If you’d like to help, you can give toward one yard, five yards, ten yards—or any amount. Every gift helps us improve the spaces where people gather, worship, learn, build relationships, and follow Jesus together. You’ve given enough to cover 51 square yards! A yard at a time, we can cover a lot of ground.Help Us Cover A Lot Of Ground This Week's Message "Adonai" Pastor Corey • Isaiah 6:1-8 This Sunday in The Names of God, we’ll look at Adonai — The God Who Has the Right to Lead. If Jesus is King, then His authority does not depend on whether we acknowledge it. He is King whether we recognize Him or not. Our confession does not enthrone Him — it dethrones us. Join us Sunday as we look at Isaiah 6 and what it means to truly call Jesus Lord.

Keep up with our student ministry; get important updates, event info, schedule changes and more by subscribing to our StudentLife posts!Keep up with everything our students are doing Every week during the school year our youth walk into Student Life carrying school pressure and big questions about who they are. For a few hours, they enter a place where they are known and reminded that they matter to God. And the first thing they do is sit around the table and share a meal. But it’s more than just feeding their bodies, it’s providing them with a sense of belonging. As they eat they talk, they laugh, they share... and they grow closer together. You don’t have to be in the room to make an impact. You can prepare a meal, join the meal rotation, or give money to help others prepare the meal. When you feed students, you’re not just filling plates—you’re creating space for God to work. Use the link below to provide a meal or contribute financially this school year.Help Create a Place Through a Plate Prayer Team: This may be the most important thing that happens on Sunday mornings. Our prayer team meets at 9:30 in the Family Room and prays for YOU, the Sunday service, our volunteers, staff, guests and for transformation as we strive to look more like Jesus ever day. If you have a prayer request please let us know! For more information email Ray Blanket Ministry Team: Our blanket ministry provides blankets as a physical display of God’s love when needed most. Blankets are donated to those in the hospital or baby blankets are delivered to Branches Pregnancy Centers and other organizations. If you’d like to help make blankets or want info email Jessica Pyle. If you’d like to stop and pray over the blankets we have they are in the Family Room Care Team: Our Care Team meets with individuals following the service who are seeking prayer or wanting to take their next step with Jesus. If you’re good with people and have a heart to pray with and walk with people in that moment when God is stirring in their heart this might be a great ministry opportunity for you. For more information email Terry Cleaning Team: This team helps us create a clean and welcoming environment for our guests and regulars who come to the building each week. A clean church shows our thankfulness for what God has provided and removes stumbling blocks to those we welcome to worship every Sunday and throughout the week. If you’d like to join this group email Corey and we’ll get you the details. We’ve got to fill space for one of our cleaning volunteers for the rest of the year due to a coming surgery. If you’ve got some time and could help fill the schedule on Sept 27 and Nov 15 we’d love to have you! Let Corey know if you can cover the dates for us.

Community Prayer Pray for the LifeGroups starting back up this month Pray that God would stir hearts to serve to help our kids learn about Jesus on their level, our students build their own faith and our church be a place where God forms people into full developed followers of Jesus. Pray for God’s provision as we work to finish some of the projects still undone around our building. Pray for safety for everyone who comes through our doors. For the ministries that happen here each week, and for Real Life to continue being a place where relationships are formed, people are known and loved, and where we learn to follow Jesus more faithfully together.

They do not abandon the promise; they take control of its method. Their plan produces Ishmael, but it also produces pain and consequences they cannot manage. When God appears again, He identifies Himself as El Shaddai—the God who knows when something has reached its proper limit. God gives Abram and Sarai new names, establishes the covenant sign, names Isaac before he is conceived, and sets the time of his birth. God promises to bless Ishmael, but He does not allow Abraham’s preferred solution to redefine the covenant. Faith trusts God not only to provide, but to determine when enough is enough.

This Sunday, August 30th: Prayer Team - Meets in the Family Room at 9:30a (anyone can join) 10:00am Worship Gathering - Join us for Sunday service in person or online. Kids Ministry - Age-specific programming during the service each Sunday BACK TO SCHOOL BASH: Make plans to hang out with us after Church this Sunday for free food and fun for the whole family! Bring your bag chairs, canopies and a towel or change of clothes. Upcoming Events: New Message Series begins this Sunday — The Names of God is a five week series exploring how God makes Himself known through the names and descriptions He reveals in Scripture. Each name shows us more of His character and calls us to respond to Him with trust, surrender, belonging, and faithfulness. 2 Women’s LifeGroups will begin on Sept 9th one in the morning at 10a and one in the evening at 6:30p - check out the women’s ministry posts for more info. The BEMA LifeGroup will begin meeting again on Sept 16 at 6:30p. FOR THOSE WHO TAKE HAVERHILL ROAD: Due to the turnaround at the refinery Haverhill road will be closed to through traffic from 5-7:30 am/pm every day from Sept 12 - Oct 19. This may primarily affect those coming during the week for lifegroups or studentlife events. We’ve got a pretty big building project we’re getting ready to tackle—and we’re going to do it a yard at a time. I’ll tell you more Sunday. Join us Sunday right after worship for our Real Life Back-to-School Bash! Real Life has grown this summer, and we don’t just want to recognize familiar faces —we want to actually know the people God has placed around us. After all, if we’re going to be formed together in His Kingdom, we need relationships with the people in it. So stick around after church for lunch, water, games, and a little friendly chaos. We’ll have hamburgers and hot dogs, chips, watermelon and plenty of water, plus a water inflatable for the younger kids, water balloons, and some seriously wet kickball or wiffle ball. There’s nothing complicated about it. Eat together. Play together. Laugh together. Get to know somebody you don’t know yet. Whether you’ve been part of Real Life for years or you just found us this summer, we’d love for you to stay and spend some time with us. This Week's Message "YAHWEH" Pastor Corey • Exodus 3:1-15, 6:2-8, 20:1-2 When Moses asks God’s name, he is being sent into a situation he cannot control and carrying a calling he does not believe he can fulfill. God does not answer by building Moses’ confidence in himself. He reveals Himself as Yahweh—the God who is not defined, sustained, or controlled by anything outside Himself. Yet the God who needs nothing sees Israel’s suffering, hears their cries, remembers His covenant, comes down to rescue them, and promises Moses, “I will be with you.” Moses keeps asking, “Who am I?” God answers by revealing who He is.

This Week's Message "The Slow Fade" Pastor Corey • Revelation 2:12-17, Numbers 22-25, 31:16 Most of us don’t wake up one day and decide to reject God. The danger is usually quieter than that. In the final week of iDols, we’ll look at Jesus’ warning to the church in Pergamum and the strange story of Balaam and Israel. Together they show us how divided allegiance can grow slowly—through the things we tolerate, justify, and eventually begin to see as normal. Idolatry doesn’t require us to reject God. Sometimes it simply asks us to make room for something else beside Him.

For a few hours, they enter a place where they are known and reminded that they matter to God. And the first thing they do is sit around the table and share a meal. But it’s more than just feeding their bodies, it’s providing them with a sense of belonging. As they eat they talk, they laugh, they share... and they grow closer together. You don’t have to be in the room to make an impact. You can prepare a meal, join the meal rotation, or give money to help others prepare the meal.

Welcome to the weekly update 👋 This is your one-stop spot for everything happening in our church family. From kids to adults, small groups to special events, here's how you can get connected over the next seven days.New Here? We'd Love to Connect With You Sunday, August 9th Prayer Team - Meets in the Family Room at 9:30a (anyone can join) 10:00am Worship Gathering - Join us for Sunday service in person or online. Kids Ministry - Age-specific programming during the service each Sunday Upcoming Events Pizza with the Pastor, August 23rd following morning worship (find out more below) Back-To-School Bash, August 30th following the morning worship service. Make plans to hang out with the Real Life family after church for hot-dogs, hamburgers and fun! Be watching for information on lifegroups right here in the Weekly Update as school kicks off our groups will be close behind! Are you New at Real Life? Take the next step. Join us for Pizza with the Pastor—a relaxed meal where you'll hear the story of Real Life from pastor Corey, have time to ask questions and discover how you can get connected. We'd love to save you a seat.Register for Pizza 🍕 Here Join us Sunday, August 30th, right after worship for our Real Life Back-to-School Bash! Real Life has grown this summer, and we don’t just want to recognize familiar faces —we want to actually know the people God has placed around us. After all, if we’re going to be formed together in His Kingdom, we need relationships with the people in it. So stick around after church for lunch, water, games, and a little friendly chaos. We’ll have hamburgers and hot dogs, chips, watermelon and plenty of water, plus a water inflatable for the younger kids, water balloons, and some seriously wet kickball or wiffle ball. There’s nothing complicated about it. Eat together. Play together. Laugh together. Get to know somebody you don’t know yet. Whether you’ve been part of Real Life for years or you just found us this summer, we’d love for you to stay and spend some time with us. This Week's Message "Whose Are You?" Pastor Corey • This week, we look at Peter’s encounter with Cornelius in Acts 10. Peter expected the outsider to be the one who needed to change, but God used Cornelius to confront Peter’s own understanding of who belonged, who was worthy, and how big God’s Kingdom really is. Our theology, traditions, politics, culture, church background, and even our understanding of truth can become idols when we give them an authority that belongs only to Jesus. Following Jesus is not only about believing the right things. It is about becoming more like Him in the way we see and love people—recognizing that they are not projects, opponents, or outsiders, but people already loved by the Father.

Our students have been meeting in the Welcome Center - but our hope is that later this Fall they can begin meeting in the Fellowship Room. While it will be a multi-purpose room for LifeKids, LifeGroups and Events, we also hope it will become a place for our students to grow closer to Jesus and each other. A safe space for them to discover, discuss and dig into God’s word together and with Amber. If you have a minute this Sunday, walk by, or into, the Fellowship room and ask God to bless our students and leaders this year and as they grow to live, love and look more like Jesus every day.

Be watching for information on lifegroups right here in the Weekly Update as school kicks off our groups will be close behind! Note from Pastor Corey: Wasn’t it amazing last Sunday seeing 21 kids from VBS leading us in worship through the songs they learned? We actually had 27 kids on our biggest evening during VBS but vacations and other plans meant some of the kids weren’t able to make it on Sunday. But here’s something else I noticed Sunday, there were more kids in the audience! The 21 on stage weren’t all the kids we have. I don’t know if you are aware but our nursery (birth - 3) has been in the double digits 7 out of the last 9 weeks, that’s amazing! But it’s also challenging. With more people, especially very little people, one adult volunteer can no longer manage even with help from our students. Amber just informed me that she needs 4 NEW volunteers to keep the nursery running and safe. Serving in this capacity is not a life-sentance or even an every-Sunday obligation. But if you can love babies, change a diaper, and want our littlest people to have a positive view of church from the very beginning of their life we’d love to have you on the team.Serve at Real Life Are you New at Real Life?

They walked away from the fountain of living water and exhausted themselves digging broken cisterns that could never hold what they needed. The bronze serpent demonstrates how subtly that can happen. God had commanded Moses to make it, and God had used it to bring healing. But generations later, Israel was burning offerings to it. Something God had once used became something the people trusted and worshiped in God’s place. Most personal idols develop the same way. They are often good gifts—family, relationships, achievement, comfort, control, possessions, traditions, or even ministry—that gradually receive expectations and authority they were never meant to carry.

They bring school pressure, shifting friendships, and big questions about who they are. For a few hours, they enter a place where they are known, welcomed, fed, and reminded that they matter to God. The meal is a small part of the night, but it helps create that environment. Around the table, students slow down, connect, and begin to belong. It also removes a barrier for students who might otherwise stay home, while giving leaders more space to focus on relationships and discipleship. You don’t have to teach or lead a group to make an impact. You can prepare a meal, join the meal rotation, or give toward a meal, or many.

It’s a 24’x60’ large space that will serve several functions; It will be a large group space for our LifeKids, It will also be home to StudentLife our ministry to 6-12th graders, and it will be a space for church dinners and events like Pizza with the Pastor, Discover Real Life and LifeGroups.

PS. The carpet going into this room (and our Family Room) will eventually replace all the carpet in the whole building, yes, even the auditorium once that East wall is removed and the room enlarged. Because carpet patterns and style do change we’ll be facing a clock to be able to make sure we can get enough carpet to do the building in a timely manner. More on that later.
