They’re on the way! 🚐

Our Way Students team officially hit the road this morning for the Missional Youth Retreat at Concordia Texas! We are so excited for what God has in store for them this weekend as they learn what it means to live on mission in their schools, homes, and communities.
Please join us in praying for:

-Safe travels down to Austin and back.
-Open hearts to hear the Holy Spirit’s prompting.
-Boldness for our students to practice the way of Jesus on this trip.
-Energy and wisdom for our incredible leaders and chaperones.
-That the "missional" heart of this retreat isn't just a weekend experience, but a lifelong spark.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." — Acts 1:8

Does Your Faith Command You, Or Do You Command It?

Honest question — does your faith tell you what to do, or do you tell your faith what to do?

If you've ever quietly kept a backup plan in case God doesn't come through… this clip is going to hit different. Hit play.

You've probably used the word "faith" a thousand times. But can you actually define it?

This week in our Hebrews series, we're getting specific — and it might change the way you talk about what you believe. Hit play.

Last Sunday was a beautiful reminder of what it means to be a "sending" church. We had the privilege of commissioning:

What kind of legacy are you leaving behind? 📜✨

At The Way, we believe your story is one of the most valuable things you can pass down to your family and community. Your testimony—what you believe, how you got there, and why it changed everything—is how legacy gets built.

Join us for Tell Your Story, a unique 4-week online experience designed to help you put your faith into words.

No meetings, no schedules: Everything happens right in our Church Center group chat.

Simple pace: Just two posts a week to guide and encourage you.

The Result: You’ll walk away with both a full-length testimony and a short version ready for any conversation.

You don't need to be a "writer." You just need to be honest. Let’s build a legacy together, one story at a time.

🗓 Starts June 7

Today, The Way Church honors the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to others. We don’t just want to observe this day; we want to use it as an opportunity to practice the way of Jesus together.

We challenge our church family to move through this Memorial Day with intentionality, living out our values in honor of those who made the ultimate sacrifice:

Curiosity: Take a moment to learn the story of a fallen service member. Ask questions that lead to a deeper understanding of the cost of our freedom.

Authenticity: Be honest about the weight of this day. Reach out to a friend or neighbor who is grieving a loss and offer a space for real connection.

Generosity: Honor the ultimate gift of others by being extra-generous with your own time and presence today—whether to a family member or a stranger.

Elasticity: Allow your heart to be stretched. Hold the tension of a celebratory holiday weekend alongside the solemnity of remembrance.

Simplicity: Clear away the clutter of the "long weekend" for a few minutes of quiet prayer and gratitude.

The way of Jesus is a way of self-giving love. Today, we remember those who lived that out to the very end. Let’s honor them by how we live today. 🇺🇸🕊️
