Absolutely! If you would like more information about what it looks like to follow Jesus, we'd love to help you thoughtfully walk through that decision and assist you in gaining the confident faith that you want and need to own that decision personally.

Welcome! Join us in seeking God, serve with us, make some great friends with whom you can laugh, have fun, and give and receive support to live the meaningful life God created you to live. You are welcome to hang with us for as long as you need to seek and discover God. Don't hesitate to be honest and talk through your journey with friends and the pastors—we'd love to support you in you discovering a beautiful, confident faith and relationship with God.

Membership at Quest is based on your involvement. We do have various venues that help you understand what we are all about at Quest. We'd love for you to join us at the next Lunch with the Pastors, where we share a more about our vision, values, and mission and take time for conversation and questions. We are so glad you are considering Quest as a possible church home! Welcome!

…meaning they put themselves forward as better than others, and speak negatively toward others they think are more sinful. And it’s likely you saw through them and knew that deep down, they were actually hypocrites. We’re sorry if that has happened to you and if anyone does that at Quest. (It’s because they are still growing, and likely failing in that moment to be like Jesus.)

The reality is that all of us fall short of what we know is right, best, and good (meaning we sin). Even if we are socially acceptable to others, we are all in the same boat—we all sin and need God to save us and lead us. If you want to join a bunch of people honestly seeking to daily become just a bit more like Jesus, who are also honest about not being all we know to be yet, Quest may be the right place for you.

It is true the Bible says where two or three people are gathered in Jesus’ name, God is there with them. But it is also true that we see in the Bible and throughout Christian history that the presence and work of God often shows up more tangibly and powerfully in corporate worship. We need both the relationships that form with others and encounters with God in regular large corporate worship and small group gatherings to grow in our faith.

Gathering for larger corporate worship services gives us the opportunity for our faith to be strengthened by hearing the stories of other people’s encounters with God. We all need encouragement regularly.

We tend to choose church because we like the music, or maybe we like how interesting the pastor is.

Can I let you in on a secret?

Almost any preacher is boring after you hear them for 3-5 years. Yet changing churches is hard—uprooting children, friendships, having to find your way and gain trust so you can serve in meaningful ways again and find those trustworthy, deep friendships. God didn’t intend for us to change churches so rapidly like that.

Choosing a church for the following reasons will make your faith, life and church experience great:

• You love the way they express their mission to care for one another and reach the community.
• You love how honest they are about real issues—they don’t give pat, cliche “3 steps to happiness” sermons all the time. Rather, they are real about tough issues.
• Choose a church that has common unity around God and relationship, yet allows room for people to disagree without alienating relationships (at least not on the church’s part). Jesus sought out relationships with people who disagreed with Him, and healthy churches do the same.
• Choose a place with the love and patience to care for you even in spite of your flaws (we all have them). All of us are growing, and some things we need to grow in will take years to change. Some things we might continue to wrestle with for a lifetime and we live a better life in those lifetime struggles when trusted people walk graciously with us.
• Choose a church where you find honest friendships and stick with those friendships through thick and thin—because that’s what Jesus does with us. The only way we learn to live like Jesus is by learning to have tremendous grace and love for others as we stick through times of disagreement and discomfort. Many followers of Jesus never learn to be like Jesus because they leave churches when it is uncomfortable, when it is boring, when the pastor doesn’t preach to their liking, or when the music isn’t their preference and, as a result, they never truly learn the the loving, grace giving character quality that we admire in Jesus. So people who change churches every few years completely miss what being a follower of Jesus is all about. Stick it out and learn to love like Jesus--its the best way!

Because Relationships are the Mission at Quest, we seek to reach out and care for our community in ways that give the possiblity of creating long-term relationships. We minimize handouts, and instead give generously with the intention of inviting people into relationship with us. Why? Because the deepest, longest lasting, best change happens in the context of friendships and mentors who help us grow--whether in the difficult times, the boring times where we can lose focus, or the really successful times where we can be tempted to become full of ourselves.

…and not just casual fun friends. We need real friends we can be honest with about life and faith. And even in those friendships, most of us need intentional structure in our lives so that we continue to grow instead of just coast. Church provides that structure. A weekly reminder of God, community, and growth in the context of a worship encounter with God. Small groups that provide intentional study and relationships. Friends that come out of those relationships that are there for you whether you get a promotion or you hit a rough patch in life. If you come, we hope you make lasting friendships and experience life as friends with faith.

We gather together on Sunday mornings and have one service at 10:15am. 

We'd love to see you in person, but if you can't make it we also stream our services on Youtube and Facebook Live!

You can expect 3 main things to happen when you visit Quest:

Connection, Worship and a Message

We'll do everything we can to make your time with us warm and friendly! Dress comfortable, and stop by our cafe before the service to grab coffee. People love to hang out before and after to talk and pray with one another.

Each service typically has 4-5 live songs of worship selected from worship genres such as Vineyard Worship, Hillsong, Elevation and Bethel.

One of our pastors gives a 30-35 minute message drawing on Scripture that is practically examined and you will be invited to listen to how the Holy Spirit wants you to apply it in the coming week.

On Sunday mornings, our middle school and high school students join us for worship and many of them serve in children's ministry, cafe, or the worship and production teams. There are separate middle schol and high school ministry times throughout the week.

Quest values providing children with fun and valuable experiences with Christ. We offer Sunday children's ministry for all children from birth through 5th grade. We focus on teaching the the Bible, helping them develop healthy friendships, and learning the value of serving God.
