There’s something beautiful about community around a picnic table ☀️🍔🍋

The Bible reminds us again and again that we weren’t created to do life alone. We were made to encourage one another, laugh together, carry burdens together, pray together, and celebrate together. From the early church gathering around meals in Acts to love your neighbor as yourself, community has always mattered to God.

Today looked a little like that.

Kids running. Conversations lingering. Grill smoke in the air. Church family gathered together. And somehow a cup of Jack's Lemonade in your hand just made the whole thing feel like summer wrapped in fellowship. 🍋✨

Moments like these remind us that church is more than a building. It’s people doing life together. Growing together. Showing up for one another.

Good food. Good laughs. Good community.
That’s a blessing worth holding onto.

🌭 Sunday Cookout at Church 🌭

There’s just something special about good food, lawn chairs, laughter, kids running wild, and a church family gathered together under the sunshine. ☀️❤️

This Memorial Day, we’re grateful for the freedom we enjoy, remembering those who gave so much, and celebrating the blessing of doing life together as a church family. From burgers on the grill to conversations that feel like home, these are the moments that turn a church into family.

Come hungry. Come comfortable. Come ready for fellowship, fun, and plenty of memories. 🇺🇸🍔🎉

Bring a chair or blanket and something to share if you'd like. Sign up is in the link tree on profile.

Can't wait to see you there!

Today was a beautiful reminder that love like Jesus Christ isn’t quiet, hidden, or reserved. It moves. It reaches. It changes lives. ❤️
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…
Matthew 28:18-20
Loved people love people.
You can’t hide real love when it’s rooted in Jesus.
Today we celebrated baptisms, bold faith, and the joy of people publicly declaring a new life in Christ. 🌊✨ Between the worship, the testimonies, the hugs, and the absolutely beautiful weather God blessed us with, it felt like one of those days your heart wants to stay in a little longer.

Today at church felt less like an event and more like stepping into a living room filled with family, laughter, little footsteps, hugs, and the kind of warmth that settles deep in your soul. The laughter of children, the strength of mothers, and the beauty of generations worshipping together made today feel a little like heaven brushing against earth, and carried the heartbeat of what the early church must have felt like.

Before leaving for a much needed three-month sabbatical, Pastor Curt and his family poured into us one final reminder: church was never meant to exist only inside four walls. Worship happens around dinner tables, in living rooms, over coffee, in prayer circles, and in the everyday moments where people gather together in Jesus’ name.

Acts 2:42-43 reminds us: They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer… Everyone was filled with awe.

That spirit was alive today.

The testimonies shared about the Edmondson family painted such a beautiful picture of the last six years at Emerge Church. Story after story reflected the love, sacrifice, encouragement, and genuine care Pastor Curt and his family have poured into people. You could feel how deeply they’ve impacted lives, not just from the pulpit, but through conversations, prayers, meals, late nights, hard seasons, celebrations, and simply showing up for people again and again. Their calling to pour into others has become part of the foundation and heartbeat of Emerge Church. ❤️

What a beautiful gift Pastor Curt left in our hands and hearts through The Circle Maker and Experiencing God. Not just books sitting on a shelf, but invitations. Invitations to pray boldly, study deeply, gather intentionally, and grow closer to God together in small groups and homes across our community. Seeds planted for something bigger than Sunday mornings. 📖✨

Praying this season of rest refreshes Pastor Curt and his family completely, while the church continues to grow stronger through fellowship, worship, and walking alongside one another in faith.

Today’s message centered on a simple but powerful truth: we are commissioned and deployed.

Just like in Gospel of Luke 24:13–35, we’re reminded of the road to Emmaus—where Jesus walked alongside others before they even realized who He was. That’s our calling too: walk with people until Jesus becomes clear.

We don’t have to have all the answers or say all the right things. Sometimes the most meaningful ministry is simply being present, showing love, and letting Christ be revealed through us over time. As Robert E. Gibson said, A Christian is a keyhole through which other folk see God.

We were also deeply moved by Andrew’s powerful testimony—a reminder that God’s grace is not just a concept, but a living, active force that meets us right where we are and carries us forward. His story pointed straight to how good God’s grace truly is.

And the music today? Absolutely uplifting—lifting hearts, setting the tone, and reminding us of the joy and hope we carry into the world.

Then we got to live it out together—showing up as a church family at Victory Field after service. Faith isn’t just something we hear about on Sunday mornings… it’s something we carry into everyday moments, side by side, building community wherever we go.

Let’s go out this week ready to walk alongside others, reflect His love, and live out the mission we’ve been given.

What a Sunday at Emerge!

We kicked things off with Cisne Coffee stopping by to share their beautiful ministry supporting single women from Colombia and beyond. If you’re looking for a way to make a real impact with your morning brew, check them out!

Then Jackson took us deep into Acts 9—the story of Saul’s radical transformation. Here’s what stuck with us: Saul was sincere, passionate, and completely wrong. Sound familiar? Sometimes we move through life confidently, heading in the wrong direction without even knowing it. But God doesn’t give up on us. He interrupts our journey, speaks directly to us, and asks the hard question: “Why are you persecuting me?” Because here’s the thing—how we treat others matters to God. He takes it personally.

We also celebrated 6 incredible years of Emerge! Jimmy, Ben, and Kim shared stories of faith, growth, and impact that reminded us why we do this. And Pastor Rob wrapped things up with Acts 19, challenging us to follow the Holy Spirit, embrace baptism, and serve with our whole hearts.

Here’s what we’re taking home: No one is beyond God’s reach. Not you, not the person you’re avoiding, not the one you’ve written off. God is still in the business of transformation. The question is—are you willing to listen, to change, and to help others do the same?
