Check-in at 8:40 AM

Your first Sunday, 8:40 to 10:15.

We meet in the old Alder Street printworks. The press-room windows are still in, the floor is still concrete, and the coffee is on before the doors open.

Stay for coffee

Donuts in the courtyard, and someone at the welcome table to say hello.

Missed Sunday? It’s online by Monday.

Every message is posted with the passage, notes and three questions to talk through with your group.

You don’t need your faith figured out to sit with us on Sunday. Questions are welcome here, and so are kids.

When we moved into the old printworks in 2019, the building still smelled like ink. We kept the concrete floors and the big windows, because we wanted a church that feels like the rest of the neighborhood: a little worn in, open during the week and easy to walk into.

meals a month

Every gift keeps the Thursday pantry stocked, the kitchen warm on Sundays and rent paid for neighbors who are a month short. Giving is never required to belong here.
