Come exactly how you are.

Come exactly how you are.

We don't have a dress code. We want to meet the real you. There will be free coffee and photo opportunities. We'll enjoy powerful worship music and listen to a dynamic message from our lead pastor. We'll be done in 65 minutes. (Most likely!) 

Your kids will love it.

Your kids will love it.

Come celebrate, a Savior is born!  We’ve got worship, snacks, crafts, and games galore in our safe children's environment called Kids City!  Don’t miss what we have in store! 

What you'll find

At our Waterloo campus, grab your free coffee downstairs by the café—it’s the perfect spot to connect and recharge! In Cedar Falls, enjoy free coffee in the lobby, and if you’re looking for more, the café is right by the Main Entrance. The café offers specialty drinks like lattes for purchase, so whether you want a quick cup or something extra, we’ve got you covered. 

Our team has put a lot of heart into creating an incredible live music experience for you and your family. For about 20 minutes, you’ll get to enjoy uplifting music designed to inspire and encourage you. Feel free to listen, take it in, or even sing along if you’d like—we’re just glad you’re here! Too loud? Visit the Welcome Center for ear plugs.

Get ready for a powerful and down-to-earth message from Pastor Q, a dynamic speaker with a life-changing story. After spending years in prison, he experienced firsthand the hope and transformation that Jesus brings. He’s passionate about helping people see who Jesus really is, what His resurrection means for us, and how it can bring new life to anyone—no matter where they’ve been.

After the service, we’d love to meet you! Stop by the Welcome Center in the lobby, where our friendly team is waiting for you with a special gift. It’s our way of saying we're so glad you came!

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6
