Rejoice always.

We serve free breakfast each Sunday—not just because we love chicken and waffles, but also to meet the need of the community in a context of service and fellowship that leads to communal worship. Our breakfast service is based on our pastor’s vision and philosophy of the shared meal: “There is nothing more equalizing than our shared need for food and drink. Regardless of status or station, we pull up to the table as equals. Though meals might differ greatly—some lavish, some scant—why we eat is the same: to live. Thus, a shared meal, and especially when it is given without cost, is a sharing of life and a sharing that identifies that you have the same ongoing needs that I do. A common meal was a hallmark of the early church—and its regularity gave rise to genuine fellowship, marked by gladness, humility, and favor within the community. Jesus, in his time on earth, described himself in terms of sustenance, saying, ‘I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.’ We offer free food services to our community as a reminder of the equality in the shared meal, our equality before our Creator, and our dependence upon him for everything needed for physical and spiritual nourishment.”
