Worship Begins at 10:30am

We start by pondering the following three questions: What are you grateful for? What are you wrestling with?  What do you regret? Gratitude reminds us of the grace with which God meets us in our lives. Despite the wonder and beauty of the world, we also know it is broken, and therefore we wrestle with death, pain, and injustice. Our regret teaches us that we, too, are part of the problem, not always loving as we want to love.

A typical service lasts about an hour and consists of prayer, music, message, and communion. Children’s Ministry is available from infant - middle school. Our high school students worship together with us in service.

Our service includes such traditional elements as scripture reading, communion, the Lord’s Prayer, and the recitation of various creeds. We also laugh a lot and believe that the best feature of our weekly gatherings is the community of people itself.

Being for the good of our world

We are committed to pursuing human flourishing for our neighborhoods, schools, and city, believing that the best testament to the common good is the flourishing of the most vulnerable. 

We partner with our friends from Good Shepherd Lutheran to minister throughout Syracuse.

Some of the organizations to which we are connected include: Sleep in Heavenly Peace, McMahon Ryan, The Samaritan Center, Young Life, Young Lives, Hope Print, Meals on Wheels, Pass Da ROCK, and IJM.

Traveling Together

Being human is challenging, funny, delightful, tormenting, and confusing. In the midst of our lives, we believe that God invites us to know him more each day and so we endeavor together to encounter God on a daily basis.

We are a community that shares a bold confidence in God's grace and embraces everyone as whole persons despite their questions, doubts, shortcomings, and so forth. Our hope is that no one travels alone.

We stay connected via digital communication, individual groups, and various other opportunities throughout the week.
