Together. Pursuing God. Reflecting the light of Jesus

Church hasn’t always been what people are actually looking for...

Some have experienced it as pressure, others as routine, and for some it’s felt performative.

At Foothills, we’re not trying to pretend life is perfect or that anyone has it all figured out.

Together

We’re learning to pursue God
and to reflect the light of Jesus.

Sharing burdens.
Multiplying joy.
Building a community
where love bridges differences.

If you’ve ever thought…

“Maybe church isn’t for me…”

You might be surprised.

There are neighbors here who would genuinely like to know you.

So, if you’re at all curious, looking for connection, or need a place to breathe…

We welcome you.

Hope to meet you soon,
your neighbors at the Foothills

With Jesus, In The Way Of Jesus

Are we receiving God's lavish love and allowing it to shape how we love others?

In 1 John 2:28–3:10, Jesse explores what it means to live as lavishly loved children of God, growing more like Jesus as we remain connected to Him. Our relationship with Jesus and our love for others are inseparable. We are called not only to know His love, but to reflect it through lives of justice, compassion, and mercy.

Drawing on the ancient rhythm of Ora et Labora (prayer and work), Jesse invites us into a life of breathing in God’s lavish love and breathing it out through the way we love and serve others.
