Doubts About Coming to Church?
It’s okay, lots of people do. People of all ages come to church at different times in their lives and for different reasons. If you are curious about why people attend church, we encourage you to just show up and questions are always welcome.
Here’s the basic idea of why our people enjoy church.
​
Learn.
God designed church to be a place where people could come together and study the Bible in order to learn truth about God's deep love for all of His creation (that's you).
Belong.
God doesn’t want us to go through life alone. He designed us to crave relationships with others. Church is a place where people gather together to support each other in everyday life and to seek a life closer to God.
Worship.
God is at work in everything around us – in nature, in our work, in the faces of our children. God wants His people to show love, devotion and praise, and worship is simply a way to appreciate all we have been given by God.
Serve.
God designed our hearts to feel great joy when we help others. At Starting Grounds Church, we desire to help people serve each other and serve our community through the talents and gifts God has given us.
Visit.
We’re really happy you’re curious about church. We hope you’ll come visit and say hello or contact us with specific questions.
So Who is Jesus?
You've heard of Jesus – God’s one and only Son. What you may not know is why Jesus. Simply put, Jesus came to earth as a human to show us God's abundant love for humanity and how to be in relationship with Him. Jesus is the one who teaches there is room at God's table for everyone. That includes you.
