Tomorrow at 5 PM, we’re gathering and continuing our series, Built for This: Ordinary People Formed by God, Sent with Purpose.
This week, we’re moving into Acts 2 and looking at how God forms ordinary people into a Spirit-empowered people for his mission.
Whether you’re looking for a church to worship with, or you’re curious about what God is doing through this new church plant, in a new season, in St. Pete, we’d love to have you join us.
Come worship, hear the Word, meet some people, and get a glimpse of the kind of church we’re praying God builds here.

Sunday at 5 PM

Prayer isn't a last resort, but an essential piece of discipleship and mission.

Being a part of christian community in a local church matters… We are called to bear burdens, encourage, and pray for each other. These commands require proximity. The Christian life is meant to be lived together, especially through difficult seasons. We are formed in community.

We’re in a new season as a church, and right now we’re gathering on select Sunday evenings at 5:00 PM.
This is a season of building, strengthening our foundation, and making space for all that God desires to do next. We’re prayerfully moving toward weekly Sunday gatherings in the future.
In addition to these gatherings, we meet every Wednesday evening at 6:30 PM for Formation Community, where we share life, open Scripture, pray together, and grow in faith.
If you’re looking for a church home or simply exploring faith, you’re invited to be part of the story.

We all wrestle with the question of meaning and purpose at times, whether we say it out loud or not.
In Week 1 of our new series Built for This, we open Acts and see that the story of the church didn’t start with impressive people… it started with ordinary people who had been with Jesus.
And what we find is this:
God is still writing that same story today—
and He’s writing it through people like you.
This message walks through Acts 1:1–11 and shows how Jesus forms His people, fills them with His Spirit, and sends them into the world with purpose.
If you’ve ever felt like your life is small, disconnected, or just going through the motions… this is where the story begins to change.
You were built for this.

We just finished exploring the peace of God, now we’re asking how biblical gratitude is a component of that peace.
In a world that feels unstable, the prophet Habakkuk shows us what it means to rejoice even when life doesn’t make sense.
Join us this Sunday at Formation Church as we start a new 4-week series through Habakkuk called “Still: Finding Gratitude When Life Doesn’t Make Sense.”

In this chaotic and restless world there is nothing better than to know what it means to have peace with God. Jesus is our peace. His peace reaches our neighbors, our city, the world, and our restless hearts. At Formation, we believe He is forming us into a steadfast people who live in His peace and share it with others. This fall, we’ll open God’s Word to learn how to know the peace of Jesus and make it known. Series begins Sunday, September 14th. (This Sunday!) Plan on joining us and invite a friend to come with you.

This morning, we celebrated our very first baby dedication as a church! Three beautiful families took the step of dedicating their children to the Lord, and in response, our church family pledged to support and walk alongside them

As a young church, it’s moments like these that remind us of our mission. We’re not just a gathering, but a spiritual family committed to helping one another be formed by Jesus, in community, and for mission. As we dedicated these little ones, we celebrated the hope and future they represent for our local church and the big “C” church. We pray that the gospel takes root in their hearts and that, as they grow, they will personally place their faith in Jesus.

We may be a new church plant, but today was a beautiful reminder that God is already at work in and through us. Together, we’re excited to raise disciples.
