More Than Sunday
Building a faith that permeates every part of your life.
Faith was never meant to grow one day a week. From the very beginning, the church formed disciples through everyday life. This series invites us to see spiritual growth not as something that happens only on Sunday, but as a way of life shaped throughout the week. What made the early church powerful wasn’t what they did on Sunday mornings; it was how they lived the other 6 days of the week. Your faith is for More Than Sunday.
We start by meeting people in the community. We want to bring those in the neighborhood to our doorstep or patio. Then develop a relationship that brings them into the living room. And after that, have conversations and growth that bring them to the kitchen. And once there, equipping them to go back into the neighborhood to bring others through the same process and to Jesus.
Check out the resources we have for you, no matter where you’re at in the process!

Relationships are vital when it comes to growing in your faith.
Instead of leaving quickly, try staying for 5 minutes after church. Strike up a conversation with someone new, make plans to get coffee with someone, or just hang out with your friends and family to start building more relationships.
