Belonging! That’s how we’re designed! No surprise, God made us that way—it’s an innate part of our soul’s DNA. Perhaps our EC might be the place for you to experience an “aah, I belong!” We would love to have you visit and see. We are a community that prays, learns, serves, and cares together.
Join us to connect and reflect with a multi-generational group—large enough to provide opportunities to meet new people every week, but small enough to allow for meaningful relationships to grow. We gather for the opportunity for everybody to join in interesting conversations as we explore challenging and life-giving biblical texts, and we pray together. We’re young and we’re old(er). We’re shy and we’re bold. We’d love to have you in the mix!
EC 4and1 is an intergenerational gathering of adults from every stage of life (younger, older, empty nesters, parents still parenting, single, couples). As one of the newer–and smaller–ECs, we share a common commitment to building a community where relationships, with one another and with Christ, are flourishing. We explore the Scriptures, engage in challenging and growth-inspiring conversations, serve together, and pray for one another. Often our community extends beyond Sunday mornings through service opportunities, fellowship gatherings, and fun events throughout the year. We look forward to warmly welcoming you into our community.
Interactive. Conversational. Stimulating. Engaging. Reflective. These are the most consistent attributes of the EC5 experience. Our ages range from 40 to 85 and our status is equally diverse: single, couples, artists, managers, leaders, attorneys, teachers, retired, still working. We share a love of the way Scripture interprets us. We’d love to have you join us.
