Events

Dates: September 30 - October 28

Day: Wednesday Nights

Time: 6:30–8:30 PM

Leader: Pastor Christian

Location: Main Auditorium Lobby (we’ll be seated at round tables)

Format: Short teaching + guided table discussions

Over 5 weeks, we’re creating something simple but meaningful: space to slow down, sit around a table, ask real questions, grow in your faith, and learn how to pray for and with each other. No pressure. No pretending. Just honest conversations and genuine community.

If you are new (or newish) to Next Level, Next Steps is an opportunity to learn more, ask questions, and meet our Lead Pastor and some of our leadership.

This short 30-45 min meeting will include a short presentation, followed by an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about Next Level. You will hear about how our church got started, what our mission is, and why we are so passionate about it. This is a great opportunity to know our culture and vibe as a church.

Join us for our Fire Pit Social!

We’ll have grilled hot dogs and chips, s’mores kits for the fire, music, and plenty of fun for the kids. Bring your own drinks and camp chairs, and come ready to relax, have fun, and meet some great people in our community.

Faith shouldn't feel like a job you're managing. That's the question behind Clay's new book, Managed: Why Your Faith Feels Like Work Instead of Life; a lot of us feel busy doing faith without feeling much life in it, and this book digs into why.

The full book releases January 12 2027, and you can download chapter 1 free right now, no cost, no catch.

This past Sunday, we sat down together as a church family and talked honestly about where Next Level is, what we're facing, and the opportunity in front of us.

There are two things we're asking you to consider:

A one-time gift toward our 2026 budget shortfall, to get us into this new ministry year on solid ground.

A new monthly commitment, ideally $97/month per household, to get our staffing back to a place where we can fully support small groups, discipleship, our students, and the families in this church.

We don't take this lightly, and we're grateful for every one of you who calls this place home.
