Welcome to the neighborhood! As friendly as most churches hope to be, it still can be a little frightening visiting a church for the first time. Below are some questions you may be thinking.
- Will everyone know what's going on but me?
- Will my kids like it (and be well-cared for in a safe environment)?
- Will they ask me for money?
- How should I dress?
At the Neighborhood our purpose is quite simple – to love God and neighbor. For Jesus this was what he felt was most important (see Mark 12:30-31). Although we know we are far from perfect and, at times, have more questions than answers, our desire remains the same – to lead lives that are transformed by God and to make a difference in the neighborhoods in which we live.
We hope to see you at the Neighborhood soon!
