Creating Space

Creating Space begins on July 6th, 2025


Creating Space is a collection of hour-long, small gatherings that meet for 8 weeks before or after our weekly church service (unless otherwise denoted).


However, over the summer Creating Space will look very different. We would like to invite everyone to participate in our sharing the table practice that we have been talking about for the last few months. 


From July to August, we invite you to stay after the morning service to enjoy hot dogs on the grill, lawn games, and activities suitable for people of all ages. Feel free to come as often as you can. If you wish, you can bring your own games and food. We will conclude this weekly summer gathering opportunity on August 24th with our annual church picnic and free ice cream truck. 


Stay, linger, and invite your friends to join us.

Summer 25 Creating Space Groups

In addition to our summer picnic, there will be a few groups that continue meeting over the summer. If you would like to join one of those, you can see below the limited groups that will continue to meet over the summer.


Please look over each group and plan to show up for the one that you want to join for the upcoming semester.


Childcare will be available during the winter/spring semester.

  • Prayer Group // Meets in Prayer Room 137 on Sundays at 9am

    The prayer gathering meets on Sundays before the service to intentionally engage with God through prayer. Included in this prayer time, you will be invited to pray for the upcoming service, our church, and needs within the body. Led by Linda Cutting. Show up to join.

    Sunday Morning Connection // Meets on Sundays at 8:30am in Room 131A

    This group creates space to connect with other adults as we share life together. Through sharing our weekly life experiences, we engage with God by seeing Him work in our lives and sharing our praises. We journey together through sharing where God has been leading us throughout the week. And we spread hope in praying together and encouraging each other along life’s journey. This group is limited to four new members this semester, so contact Greg if you would like to join: g.cisz5@gmail.com
