About Us
Raw. Real. Relational.
Take a few moments to find out what it means:
EMERGE
The Bible says that there is a time to plant and God is planting something within us. But when God plants something, we can’t predetermine what will grow. The best we can do is to watch with expectancy to see what emerges. And while we don’t know all of what will emerge, we know that it will be raw, real, and relational.
Raw.
At EMERGE, we want to experience the raw, natural goodness of God without any additives or preservatives. And that’s also how we want to experience one another…in our rawness, in our bare-naked honesty.
Real.
Whether you see us online, in the community, or at our favorite bar and grill, what you see is what you get. We are the same people. At EMERGE, you don’t have to put on your happy church face. We want you to come as you are because we come as we are.
Relational.
We know that the journey of faith we take together doesn’t last forever this side of eternity. So, whether it’s six months, six years or even longer, we want you to experience redemptive relationships that helps you draw closer to God and to his people…relationships that help you understand who God is and who you are as one of his children.
“ You don’t have to put on your ‘happy church face’ when you come to EMERGE. Just come as you are because we come as we are.”
