WHy we gather
We gather together on Sundays to meet with the living God and be encouraged, formed spiritually, and strengthened as changed followers of Jesus. Our Sunday Gathering follows a Modern Liturgy, an ancient pattern that still reaches us today. We begin by hearing God's call to worship—an invitation to know, love, and follow him. We give space to practice confession and lament in a world that never slows down. We drink deep the good news that love, acceptance, forgiveness and mercy are offered to all who recognize their need and provision in Jesus. After listening to the Scriptures proclaimed through preaching (SERMONS), we respond by sharing communion—a meal to remember that Jesus gave his life for us. Our worship style includes both contemporary songs and traditional hymns. We also do responsive readings regularly. We hope to bring the historic Christian faith to modern ears in a way that is beautiful and engaging. Finally, we conclude our gathering by being sent out into the world to be a blessing, empowered by self-sacrificing love, for God’s glory and the good of our city.
Our Sunday Gatherings are also a great entry point for someone who is seeking, skeptical, or curious. It is our sincere desire to thoughtfully explore your questions about God and Christianity with you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Whether you’ve never been to church, it’s been a while, or you’re used to one specific kind, it’s natural to feel a little anxious when trying something new. We don’t want you to be any different with us than you are at work or home, so dress as you like and come as you are.

Seven mile kids
Additionally, your kids will enjoy learning about Jesus with friends at Seven Mile KIDS. Currently, we offer one "Kid's Church" group available (Ages 1-4) with age-appropriate activities and learning. All of our volunteers are interviewed and background-checked (CORI) to provide a safe and fun environment. Kids are "checked-in" before the gathering. Kids ages 5+ attend the entire worship gathering with their family. Activity packets are provided for kids to use during the gathering. Read more on our Seven Mile Kids page. Soon, we will offer an additional class for kids ages 5-8.
SEVEN MILE YOUTH
Twice a month (1st and 3rd Sundays) our youth Grades 5 and up gather at 9am to be formed and shaped by the Gospel. The youth are currently working through The New City Catechism. To learn more about your youth ministry including other events, check out our Youth Ministry Page.
