Welcome to Engage. Thanks for visiting our site.  Feel free to poke around, read our blog, watch some videos, and see what Engage is all about. Visit our contact page if you have any questions. We would love to answer any questions you have.  Join the conversation. We look forward to seeing you soon. We meet on Sundays at 10:00 a.m.

What can I expect when I visit Engage?

When you visit Engage expect quality childcare and age appropriate teaching for those of you with kids.  Expect to relax and explore faith in our laid back environment.  We have two kinds of seating. For all of you extroverts out there we have some round tables for you to sit with friends and enjoy the conversation. We also have more traditional seating in rows of chairs for those of you who need some time to evaluate if Engage is a place where you can explore faith and connect with God in a meaningful way.

New Sunday Morning Teaching Series for March:

Ever wonder if a goldfish is aware that it lives in water? I’ve wondered if a goldfish ever thinks about a whole other world out there beyond the little glass bowl?  Does a fish ponder what life is like beyond a world that’s  comprised of water, little blue rocks, and tasty flakes of food that float down from above?  We are like goldfish. We are daily shaped by ideas, beliefs, and attitudes about life. These beliefs determine what we value and who we are becoming as people.  Like goldfish in a tank often we aren’t even aware of how influenced we are by our surroundings.  Are we even aware there’s something better beyond the fishbowl? Over the next few weeks at Engage we will step outside the fishbowl and explore a few of these ideas floating around.  Join us as we will explore some of these ideas we live by and how they compare to the life and message of Jesus.

March 7 – Trapped in the fishbowl: personal freedom.
March 14th Trapped in the fishbowl: about sex.
March 21st – Trapped in the fishbowl: obsession with image.
March 28th Trapped in the fishbowl:  power.

What are we all about?

Engage is a growing community of people who seek to follow the teachings of Jesus. Our hope is to help people find meaning, friendship, truth, and love by trying to focus on the things in life that matter most. If you visit Engage we want you to walk away having re-discovered the hopeful, challenging, and compelling message of Jesus–without all the baggage of feeling judged or rejected. We beleive the message of Jesus is a relational message. A message that relates to mess and routines of everday life in our complex 21st Century world.

Most of us have had some experience with religion. Some good, some not so good. We hope you have had a great experience with church.  However, we are meeting many who are growing skeptical of organized religion for a variety of reasons. We understand. That’s why Engage is a safe place for real people with real questions. We don’t think we are a perfect church, nor do we think we are better than anyone else.  We are simply trying to help real people find true and real life in Jesus.

Looking for something more? Looking for God, but not all the baggage. . .?
