A few weeks ago while working out Andrew and I met a guy named Joe. I had met Joe last year but hadn't seen him in a while. Andrew and Joe struck up a conversation because of Joe's Zeppelin tattoo. I was going to invite him to the dinner but decided to wait and ask him a few days later. Joe is a bartender at a "nightclub." A few nights later Andrew and I out decided to go on a late night rendezvous to the Hamburg Wal-Mart around 11:30pm. While we were walking down an aisle we ran smack into none other than Joe. I got his number and invited him to the dinner. Andrew and I walked out of Wal-Mart amazed at what God is doing in our midst!

About Me
- the roz
- I can best describe myself in a short poem. I am not big or small. I am Rosario. Beautiful and Sicilian. Dark and Wise. Like a young colt or a muscular stallion. My heart is pure and my eyes are brown. Look for yourself. But don't judge me. Please, I am so sensitive yet not... I am Rosario. I am Rosario. I bleed red. by Laura Gallaher

Who We Are
We are a Christian Faith Community called together by God to live Christ-dwelling, lives through the power of the Holy Spirit by embracing God and embracing others who have been hurt, rejected, broken, and burned out on religion. We freely love and accept all people where they are and desire to see them grow in wholeness and holiness.
Our mission is to reach out to people who have not committed their lives to Jesus Christ and those who have no relationship with a Christian faith community.
We Embrace:
Extravagant Generosity: (2 Corinthians 9:11) We are a community that practices stewardship through our prayers, presence, financial gifts, and service to God.
Mature Faith Development: (Acts 2:42) We believe making a commitment to become a Christian is only the beginning. We desire to see continual growth in our lives in order to become mature followers of Jesus.
Bold Faith-Sharing: (2 Timothy 4:5b) We want to share what God has done in our lives with others through our words and actions.
Risk-Taking Mission & Service: (Matthew 25:40) We desire to show the love of Christ by meeting the needs of our immediate and extended community.
Authentic Community: (Ecclesiastes 1:1-8) We believe a Christian faith community is about authentic relationships and being real with one another through hurt, pain, sorrow, joy, excitement, laughter, and thanksgiving.
Committed Hospitality: (Romans 15:7) We honor the sacred worth of all people and strive to welcome and include God’s people.
Enthusiastic Celebration: (Psalm 84:1-2) We have an intense desire to not just come to receive but to give of our worship to God and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. We want to be mindful of Jesus’ sacrifice for us as we celebrate communion every week.
A community where you can belong.
Come as you are…
