DISCOVER EMERGENCE

FIRST SUNDAY OF EVERY MONTH

Are you visiting Emergence and want to learn more about the church? Have you been attending for a while and would like to get more plugged in? Are you hoping to become a member? Discover Emergence is your one stop for everything from getting to know the church to becoming a part of it. We look forward to seeing you there!

There is no Discover Emergence for the month of September. It will resume in October!

DISCOVER FAITH

NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO DISCOVER JESUS

If faith in Jesus is new to you, or you have questions about why we believe what we believe; Discover Faith is the perfect spot for you. Groups meet at both campuses on the 2nd Sunday of every other month.

Each session explores purpose, meaning, and God while laying a foundation for understanding the Bible and Christianity. Come with your questions, doubts, or curiosity—every journey starts somewhere! Sign up below to learn more.

REDEMPTION & RECOVERY

TUESDAY NIGHTS AT 7:00 PM | TOTOWA CAMPUS

We believe God will redeem all things for His glory. While some people turn to addictive behavior in response to struggle, some respond with unhealthy anger, resentment, pride, selfishness, turning to unhealthy relationships, etc.. The truth is none of us are perfect. We all have areas of our lives that God is calling us to grow in so we can reflect Christ and His power to save, heal and overcome. Redemption & Recovery is for anyone seeking a safe community to work through life's struggles in a deeper way.
