About this service

One of the most distinct characteristics of the earliest Christians was their disproportionate concern for the poor. While this may be a more common value in our day, Jesus’ teachings about the poor were revolutionary to ancient Roman ears who lived in a world built on “takers” and “keepers.” Jesus flipped the hero’s story of that time on its head and raised the disenfranchised into the eye line of society. With hearts that are inclined towards more and mine, radical generosity to the poor is Jesus’ way of setting us free to join him in his upside-down Kingdom that belongs to “the poor in spirit” and the “least of these.” Join us for our Sunday morning service as we worship God together through songs, prayer, Bible teaching and fellowship. Children and young people are welcome, with age-appropriate groups upstairs on most Sundays. Teas and coffees are served before and after the service. Everyone is welcome.
