The average American church member gives 2.58% of their income. Once it makes it into the hands of churches, only about 2% makes it to missions and poor. That means Christians are only giving about two percent of two percent. In the midst of a culture of greed, we are committed to the subversive lifestyle of extravagant generosity.
We aim for 50% of our funds to go to missions and the poor. This requires faith. Jesus and his followers declared the good news of the kingdom through both words and deeds to the blind, the lame, the deaf, the mute, the leper, and the poor (Luke 7:18-23; 9:1-2; 10:9). Multitudes of biblical passages make clear that God measures cultures and peoples by what they do about the poorest among them.

We see churches where people feel like they can belong before they believe and believe before they behave. We also see bodies with too much brown to be called a white church, and too much Hispanic to be called a black church; with too many kids to be called an old church, and too many wise ones to be called a young church - churches that model the diversity of God's kingdom.
There are many ways to describe Church. The people of God. Two or more gathered in His name. The bride of Christ. The Body. Yet our ecclesial minimum, and our discipleship approach is worship, mission and community. We envision our devotion toward God with the color yellow, and we call this worship.
We would love for you to visit us! Currently, our church is meeting in various homes every Sunday, in which we call these our "House Church Gatherings"! We strive to take the necessary precautions during this season to make sure everyone feels loved and safe. Please reach out to the specific House Church leaders to find out what precautions they are currently taking.
Once a month, all of our House Church's get together for a time of worship, testimony's, and community. We do have child care for your children at our Large Group Gatherings for ages 1 and up. We also do not look down upon kids being in the main area with us as well. Though they can sometimes be a little distracting, we believe there is something very powerful about kids witnessing adults worship, and encounter the presence of God.

Greenhouse is such a welcoming church! I love going here because people are so kind, loving and caring. We truly believe that you need to come as you are, and you already belong. We would love to have you join us if you are looking for friendship, community, love and a place to know how valued you are! If you have questions about God, this is a great place to start your journey in finding answers. If you have doubts, come join us as we have them to! We are all human and we want to do life together. We want to seek after God's heart together, imperfectly, as his grace is bigger than our faults.
