Now and Then

Every now and then it is a good thing to remind yourself and others about what it is that you are here to do. For us at Real Life it's simple. We want to bring people into a meaningful relationship with Jesus, train them up to serve others, and then send them out to serve God's people. For us, we try to keep things simple and fun. That's why we aren't doing tons of different things as a church. We try to do four thing and do them really well:
  • We have great worship that most people in our culture and community would enjoy and get something out of.
  • We have a simple straightforward message everyone can use.
  • We have awesome kids programs.
  • We build each other up by providing a place for relationships to happen.
That's it. That is what we are here to do. We do it all in a coffee house environment. Reminding ourselves of why we are here every so often helps keep a person focused and helps make many decisions easier. If it's not part of the mission we don't have to spend much time thinking about it!
