The Pathway: Taking your Next Steps in the life-long journey of following Jesus

What Do We Believe?

At Adventure we want to be known for what we FOR and not for what we are AGAINST. We are for everything that has been described in our VALUES & PRIORITIES above, but at the same time we are not against anyone. We believe that you can be for something/someone without also having to be against something/someone else. We unashamedly AFFIRM what we believe and interpret the Bible says about all aspects of life. We also ACCEPT and welcome anyone and everyone that wants to get in the same room with Jesus and allow Him to work things out, just as He did, regardless of their past mistakes or present circumstances. While many “religious” and “self righteous” folks (whether intentionally or not) seek to create a hierarchy of sinful behaviors where some are more demonized than others…the truth is this: sin is sin, plain and simple.  The word for sin means “to miss the mark.” So whether its a miss by a millimeter or a mile…a miss is a miss…and we HAVE ALL MISSED. We’re all in the same boat when it comes to our desperate need for Jesus’ grace and mercy.  So whether we struggle with sexual sin, substance addiction, lying, stealing, gossip, or anger, etc…no one’s sin is better or worse than anyone else’s and no person’s need for Jesus’ grace and mercy is more or less than anyone else’s. Jesus invites everyone into an “abundant life” (John 10:10) and that happens through making Him our personal Lord AND Savior. We believe that our core beliefs, when expressed and lived out through our values and priorities, help to form the guardrails that keep us on the path to living the kind of life Jesus desires for us, what we at Adventure call “The With God Life.”

When you enter the church, one or two people from the church will be available to greet you as you come in and will help you to find where to go. If it's your first time, head over to the Welcome Desk. We can answer any questions you have about the church, and we would love to give you a gift to welcome you to Adventure.

Our Sunday service starts at 10am, but as we are fairly relaxed in style and format there is no problem if for some reason you arrive a few minutes late. We have lively time of worship with our band and one of our pastors will preach and share a message which is relevant and inspiring. We often have an opportunity to respond to the message during the service, be it through singing, prayer or a decision for Christ!

After our worship service, we host 2nd Hour LifeGroups from 11:15 - 12:15 for adults, kids (Pre K - 5th Grade), and Students (6th - 12th Grade). This is a great way to connect with others while unpacking the truth of the Gospel and how it impacts our lives. You can learn more about all of our groups by clicking HERE.

What Should I Wear?

People sometimes ask what they should wear when coming to be part of church on a Sunday, and we usually recommend that you come as you feel comfortable. Most people dress casually, however, with so many people from different backgrounds we have a wide range of styles and tastes.

We cater to the needs of all children as part of our Sunday programming:

• Adventure Preschool: We have a fully equipped and supervised nursery, which is suitable for children aged birth to 5. Kids will play together, as well as learn an interactive Bible lesson and participate in age-appropriate worship.

• Adventure Elementary: Every month we will study a different virtue or basic truth. We meet downstairs for age appropriate worship, Bible study, small group activities, crafts and fun!

• Adventure Students: Our Middle School and High School students are currently attending service together at 10am on Sundays, and meeting Wednesday nights at church from 6:00-7:30PM.

I'm not sure I'm ready for church yet...

Given how church is often portrayed in the media and the news, that is not surprising! Jesus lived the most amazing life and his message is both powerful and revolutionary, yet this image is far from that painted of church today. Church for us is a gathering of people who are being changed day by day by following Jesus. We're far from perfect, completely individual and amazingly diverse. Life is messy, often chaotic, but as we journey together we find ourselves as part of a community where we find encouragement, hope, strength and life. If you are on a journey towards faith, whatever stage you are at there is space for you to do that at your own pace.

What else is going on through the week?

There are lots of different activities taking place during the week at Adventure for everyone and the details of many of these are available on this site. However, we are always open for new creative ideas, inspiration and people to help us to fulfill our mission and vision. If you are not part of a church already we'd love to connect with you on a Sunday or in any of our activities.
