A couple things about us.
We’re a mobile church. That means we set up and tear down every Sunday. We have a great partnership with our facility, but we still have to get things ready every week. Our teams do a great job and we’ve found that setting up is a great way to get to know others.
For those interested, Thrive is affiliated with the Church of God, Anderson, IN. Each congregation is autonomous, but we are part of a larger tribe. Our pastors are ordained ministers through the Oklahoma Assembly of the Church of God.
We started meeting for weekly services in 2016, so we’re still relatively new. We’ve been deliberate about the kinds of ministries we engage in. Of course, we do Sunday morning worship and kid’s ministry. We also have small groups and periodic discipleship courses during the weekdays. Our hope is that the church family will also connect informally and build relationships with each other on their own. Feel free to talk to another family about grabbing lunch after service!
Ultimately, we are trying to become a People of Presence - individuals lit up with the presence of God, becoming the hands and feet of Jesus wherever we find ourselves.
