Songs and Jesus Stories
What to expect on a Sunday.
If you’re thinking about coming on a Sunday, you probably have a few questions.
What will it be like?
Will I feel out of place?
What am I walking into?
We get that.
So here’s a simple picture of what Sunday looks like.
A Simple Gathering
It’s basically this:
Songs & Jesus Stories
It’s a relaxed, one-hour gathering with:
Live Music
A story from the life and teachings of Jesus
Opportunities to meet neighbors
That’s it.
No pressure. No performance. No expectations placed on you.
What to Expect
Check out some of the answers to frequently asked questions below.
-
People show up in whatever they are comfortable wearing. Some people sing. Some listen. Some just reflect and think. Some have followed Jesus for years. Others are just curious — or unsure what they believe.
You won’t be singled out, put on the spot or asked to do anything. You can simply be a part of it. Take it in.
-
Each week we explore a story from the life of Jesus. Not as a lecture — but as a conversation starter. We ask simple, honest questions:
What did Jesus actually teach? Why does it matter? What might it mean for our lives today?
How does this make us better neighbors?
You wont need any background knowledge to follow along.

We offer Neighborhood Kids Club during all of our gatherings.
Kids experience:
Hands-on creativity
Activities and play
Lessons rooted in kindness and community
It’s a safe, welcoming space where kids can be themselves.
All adult volunteers have been background checked to ensure safety for all.

We meet at Neighborhood Center in Rutland.
Sundays at 9:30am
If this is your first time or first time in a long time, we ask that you park in our guest parking lot — The lot immediately north of the building right next to the main entrance off of Chestnut Avenue. This will ensure our hospitality team makes your experience as helpful as possible.
Also, Chestnut Avenue and Williams Street feature parking on both sides of the road.

Sunday isn’t the center of everything we do.
It’s just one of the spaces where people can explore faith.
Most of our life together happens through the week —
In neighborhoods
Around tables
Helping one another
Living everyday life
