Beyond the Surface: Seeing Our Neighbors Through Christ’s Eyes

Christ calls us to care for our neighbors and respond with compassion to those in need.

Saturday June 20 9:00 - 12:00 pm at Assisi Heights Spirituality Center

Join us for a meaningful morning exploring the many facets of homelessness. Hear from local nonprofit leaders and church representatives about how we can live out Christ's call to love our neighbors.

Marla and Kimber will be discussing issues that impact poverty and community outreach, and how the church can respond in meaningful and compassionate ways.

PUBLIC DISCIPLESHIP SERIES

What does it mean to be publicly Christian at a time when the faith has been weaponized for cruelty, greed, and domination?

July 20, 6-7:30pm @ Bethel

July 14 6-8pm @ Century High school

Join neighbors from 16 Rochester area churches and faith communities for this five-session, intercongregational series as we build powerful relationships in our churches, deepen our faith, and take real action that demands our public policy feed the hungry, heal the sick, and welcome the stranger.

Help us at medcity dinner church!

Our Wednesday nights are fueled by volunteers who come together to make it all happen. Would you like to help us? 

Help us feed our community!

There's something about food that brings people together. Our Sunday morning snacks help us slow down, connect with one another, and "feed" our sense of community. But we’re running a bit short these days! Would you be willing to help us out once in a while?
