The Gist...

I love sitting down with people and sharing what Overflow is all about.  The gist of overflow is simplicity.  That’s right, simplicity.  We want to be a simple church, and by simple, I mean a church not built on programs but on 3 simple processes: encountering God, empowering people, and engaging the city. 

In a consumer culture, we often approach finding a church that meets our needs.  Most are settling for a Christianity that revolves around catering to self, but that is far from the message of the gospel, which calls us to deny and abandon self.

Therefore, at Overflow, we intentionally want to move people from a crowd of consumers to a community of Christ followers encountering God, empowering people, and engaging the city.

Sunday mornings is when Overflow gathers for corporate worship to encounter God.  Soon, we will begin monthly community gatherings as well as seasonal city groups for cultivating healthy and authentic community.  We will also have in place an elements course that will move people from consumers to contributors to the family.   
We are all about processes at Overflow.  We realize that our walk with Jesus is a process.  Come join the process with us.
