Are you feeling overlooked, excluded, wounded, or worn down? Is life feeling complicated or painful?

Jesus sees all people — people like you and me. And it is exactly in these moments where the Gospel begins.

Milwaukee Trip Sunday Photo Dump 📸

A beautiful day of worship, service, and fellowship!

This morning, our students and chaperones worshiped with our wonderful host church, Holy Trinity in West Allis.

Later, they partnered with Tippecanoe Presbyterian Church for some service work: pulling weeds, shredding paper, and picking up sticks (plus a lot of laughing!).

They’re wrapping up a great Sunday by relaxing in the sun and cheering on the Brewers! ⚾☀️

Our high schoolers are off on their Milwaukee service trip adventure!

First stop: a Wisconsin classic (and Marissa’s first butter burger!! 😳)

And a walk along Lake Michigan.

Christ whispers love over every voice that's told you that you don't belong. You don't need to sacrifice your authenticity for acceptance.

The table is set. The guest list is beautifully scandalous. And it includes YOU!
