  3. Alpha Course Begins Wednesday, May 27th – Register Today for Dinner & Discussion

    Alpha is an 11-week course that meets weekly for dinner and conversation. Each night sitting at a table with others, we engage in conversations centered around big life questions:

    What is the meaning of life?

    Can I believe that God is real?

    What is my purpose?

    Each week we watch a video full of thought provoking material related to how we can interact with God and faith. Then we spend the rest of the evening at our tables discussing the topics brought up in the nightly video.

    Questions are encouraged. Disagreement allowed.

    The goal of Alpha: create community and inspire thought for the believer and non believer alike.

    Register to attend Alpha  HERE for Wednesday evenings, May 27th – August 5th from 6:30-8:30PM.

    Questions or want to get involved?

    Contact Mandy Ryniker.

    WHO SHOULD COME? WHERE?

    If you’ve been here once or 10,000 times – Gustavo said: come – men ages 16 and up! Join us at TBarM.  

    THEME ANNOUNCED

    Gustavo said on Sunday: “We’re going to be diving into the Lord’s return and how to prepare our hearts for our King. What do we do in anticipation…?

    ‘A voice cries: In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’ Isaiah 40

    So men, we’re going to be talking about how do we make those paths straight? What does that look like in our lives now? How do we help the Lord’s presence and His goodness flow through our lives now?”

    THEME ANNOUNCED
