“Taste and see that
the Lord is good…”

DAVID (PSALM 34:8 NIV)

Our Mission

To help people experience God’s love.

Our Vision

The greatest pathway to God is to experience His authentic love in a way that can be received, reciprocated back to Him, and released fully to others. Experience Christian Church seeks to create a church founded on this pathway. Our most basic question is “how can we help others experience the love of Jesus today?” and we answer this in how we serve, how we interact, and how we represent Jesus to all.

We're Committed To:

1

Extend Grace

We want to give grace freely to others because Jesus first gave it freely to each of us.
2

Enhance Community

We want every space and place we are a part of to be better because of our loving presence and participation.
3

Engage Purpose

We want to be intentionally present and activated in every scenario, stage and season of our lives.

You Belong Before You Believe

God created us with a deep need for connection. The phrase we are better together is easy to say but difficult to live. In a divided world, we often protect ourselves by keeping others at arm’s length—waiting to see where it feels safe to be fully seen. That process takes time, and trust can’t be rushed. But in spaces where belonging is valued, that process becomes possible—and encouraging.
For many, church has been a place where conformity is expected. People learn to speak the right language, share acceptable stories, and hide the parts of themselves they fear won’t be welcome.
At Experience, we invite you to bring your whole self—your questions, doubts, hopes, and stories. You don’t have to believe before you belong. This is a place for genuine relationships, shared learning, and honest conversations.
We’re not trying to fix you. We’re here to walk together. That’s how we grow.

A Place For Everyone

Intercultural churches bring people from various cultures together with an intentional openness to learn from one another, giving equal value and power to each culture, preserving cultural differences, and celebrating multiple cultural traditions.
They are defined by: Justice, Mutuality, Respect, Equity, Political Understanding, Acceptance, Freedom, Peacemaking, Celebration, Mutual Trust, Grace, and Growth.
People must be willing to leave the comfort zones of their own separate traditions, they must be willing to embrace different styles of worship and community engagement. As Intercultural churches interact and build relationships, moving from an ‘us and they’ to a ‘we’ existence, they grow together in spirit and become transformed by Jesus Christ!
