SUNDAY GATHERING

WHAT: Our weekly Sunday worship gathering. 

​

WHO: Anyone interested in checking out Church on BLVD is invited! This might be someone who is considering the faith OR someone who is looking for a new church home

​

WHEN: Sunday mornings from 10-11:30am. 

​

WHERE: Inside the Midas Car Shop in Scott's Addition -- 1212 N Arthur Ashe Boulevard 

​

PARKING: Street parking is plentiful on Sunday mornings! Or pull right into the car garage which is attached to our worship space!

​

ENTRANCE: When you arrive, please walk into the main garage doors of the Midas space. Our team will be there to greet you and direct you in! 

​

KIDS: After the musical worship at the beginning of our service, 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: Since we are a church plant, not everything will be perfectly polished or 100% figured out – is it ever?!? (but you know what we mean). Some things are still trial and error, but the core of what we believe, what we hope to become, and what we feel called to do is all well established at this point. If you're okay (or even excited about!) the inevitable mess and fluidity that comes along with church planting, please join us. 

​

CONTACT: If you have questions or simply want to let us know you will be joining us, please don't hesitate to reach out! You can reach Drew by email. Simply click on the button below.

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).

​

The Gospel of Jesus is central to everything we do as Christians. It is the power that saves us and changes us over time.

​

God makes us alive to his Gospel, saving us by sheer grace 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 us — sealing and filling us.

​

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.

​

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)

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?”
