YOU BELONG HERE
Welcome Home.
​
We are a place for people who are curious or cautious about God. We get it. You don't want to go somewhere where you aren't comfortable. Perhaps you didn't get a taught that Jesus loves you and wants a personal relationship with you. We've felt it too. That's why we built Para Experiences where we want to grow people in a life-giving church. Here we get to purely worship God openly and freely, ask the "stupid question", all while not being judged. There's no pressure to be anyone, just be yourself. After all, we want you to feel comfortable asking questions, lifting your hands in praise, or just coming over with your friends for coffee at the Refresh Bar.
We welcome you home, join us.

ARE YOU SEARCHING...
THERE'S A WHOLE GENERATION WHO ARE SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH AND FOR AUTHENTIC RELATIONSHIPS THAT HELP THEM DISCOVER THEIR PURPOSE WHILE GETTING TO KNOW JESUS.

Would you agree that you've been looking for something, but don't know what it is? We've felt that too before. This will help...
​​
IF YOU FEEL LOST
Nobody has “arrived”. We are lifelong learners and what we've learned, through experiences with God, we will share with you - just ask.
(1 John 5:10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself.)
​
MISS BEING WITH GOD
Gods coordination of the right people, at the right time, in the right place is confirmation that He is for YOU. When you join us, you'll feel His presence, its up to you to let Him in.

VISION
​To Grow People As A Life-giving Church
​
MISSION
To Come Alongside One Another.

GROW
GROWTH TRACK
This guides you to discover your purpose and live the life God created for you. Decide to officially make Para your church home, discover your strengths and gifts, develop your God-given gifts to make a difference in the lives of others.
CONNECT
LIFE GROUPS
This is how we ensure that everyone is welcomed and have a people to live out Monday - Saturday with - don't live life alone! As we grow, we need each other to endure and celebrate life with.
SERVE TEAM
This is how people live out their purposeful lives. There are several teams to serve on, so there’s something for everyone to use their gifts: time, talents, and treasure to serve God’s house and in the community.
CARE
The community is hurting and needs help. Sometimes this is a need we can fill other times its prayers, often its both; this team gives legs to prayers. Anything that comes in as a prayer request from a Welcome Card flows through this team to be cared for.
TO COME ALONGSIDE YOU
THE FOUNDATION OF IT ALL
SERVANT LEADERSHIP
Our communities need godly leaders. Its not always the person who stands up front, but rather leaders are those who have influence with those they hang out with. We will teach biblical servant leadership and character development so that everyone can learn to be a leader in and out of Para.
BAPTISM
​To Grow People As A Life-giving Church​
​
ACCEPT JESUS
Many of us have accepted Jesus in our hearts and gave him control of our lives, that's called "being Saved." If you don't know what this means, we would love to explain it.​​
​
SHOUT IT FROM THE ROOFTOPS!
If you are saved, or want to renew your faith in Jesus, your next step is to let everyone know about it in water baptism.
KIDS & YOUTH
​
Kids: 0-5th grades
Kids are important to us, so we’ll create a place where they can learn about Jesus on their level. Every Sunday, babies through fifth-grade children experience safe, age-appropriate environments where the Bible is taught in a creative and relevant way.
Youth: 6th - 12th grades
An Experience that's high energy worship with a simple word. In a world that competes for attention and time, nothing can compete with FUN. We play games, laugh, and learn. We are serious about fun, but more serious about God.
​​
KUEST LEADERSHIP
STUDENTS 3-12 GRADE
​
KUEST Student Leadership provides an enriched learning environment that has helped countless students learn, develop, and grow into emotional stable and centered students. Even better, its typically the teens who teach the younger ages reinforcing biblical principles and mentorships.
We believe that everyone is a leader and should lead no matter their age. In this program we teach servant leadership that is taught on a weeknight and practiced during Experiences, alongside an adult . These areas include photography, video, greeting, parking lot, administration, ushering, worship team.
YOU WANT IT... LETS GO!
​
​
We've discovered many won't make their relationship with Jesus a priority when its not interesting, speaks their language, or engaging to be at. We must meet them where they are in order for them to make their spiritual lives a priority.
​
Lets Meet.
