WHAT:
Our weekly Sunday worship gathering.
​
WHO:
Anyone interested
— If you are considering the faith OR looking for a new church home OR just want to visit, then you’re invited!
For what it’s worth, you don’t have to sign your life away to sit in on worship — you don’t even have to be a Christian.
All people are welcome and will be treated with respect at our gatherings.
​
WHEN:
Sunday mornings from 10-11:30am.
​
WHERE:
Inside the Midas Car Shop in Scott's Addition -- 1212 N Arthur Ashe Boulevard

Street parking is plentiful on Sunday mornings!
Or pull right into the car garage which is attached to our worship space!
​
ENTRANCE:
The main garage doors of the Midas space
Our team will be there to greet you and direct you in!
​
KIDS:
We have a Kids experience for grades K-5
Kids join us for songs and prayer.
After the musical worship, we dismiss kids to attend the BLVD Kids experience in a separate room.
If you would like your little ones to join in on the BLVD Kids lesson, snack, and craft time, give us a heads up when you arrive, and we will help you get checked in.
​
EXPECTATIONS:
We are a warm and welcoming community.
We are in the early stages of planting, which means everyone is new and getting to know one another.
You can expect about 40 people on a Sunday.
We sing a couple contemporary songs, offer an engaging sermon, and enjoy coffee and conversation afterwards.
You can wear jeans, you can wear a dress (or suit) — if you have clothes on, you’re good to go!

OUR BELIEFS
What is the Gospel of Jesus and why does it matter?
​
The Gospel is the good news that God has saved us, justified us, and made possible our participation in his work of redeeming the world (Is 52:7; Eph. 2:1-10; Rom 5:1).​
​
Left to our own devices, we end up burned out and feeling lifeless.
​
God makes us alive by sheer grace— not through our own effort, but through Jesus.
​
He leads us to repent of our self-reliance and turn to trust in Him.
​
This brings a radical change of character as God’s Holy Spirit takes up residence in our life.
​
The Bible tells one big story of the Gospel, pointing to Jesus on every page and also pointing ahead to the day when Jesus will return to make everything right in the world.
​
​The Gospel of Jesus is the core of Christianity and the power that saves us and changes us over time.
​
When we help one another bring the Gospel into our lives, it changes everything.
​
And we bring it into our lives by asking and responding to one question:
How does the Gospel apply to that?
​
If you are curious to hear more about growing in light of the Gospel, please join us for a gathering or feel free to reach out by email (cob@churchonblvd.com)

Ordination of Women

Suffering & Death
One of the most challenging arguments against Christianity states, “How can an all-loving, all-powerful God allow so much pain and suffering?”
