Hope...

There's not a whole lot of hope in the world right now, is there? Well, we're trying to change that.

There's only one way we know of to change that. You. Me. One person at a time. And the way we change it is to get back something that was lost. Relationship with our creator. We weren't made to survive this life, we were made to thrive. But the only way to thrive is by lining up our lives with life of the one who made us.

Can we ask you some questions?

1.) Do you feel anxious? Stressed? Worried? Frustrated?

2.) Do you feel like something is missing in your life? Do you have hope?

3.) Do you wish you could experience more of God's presence and power in your life?

4.) Do you want to spend more time with God but don't know how?

5.) If you could get some help with those things, would you want it?

As a church, we are passionate about one thing...

...helping people embrace their full potential in Christ.

We have good news...

God wants to give you hope. In fact, He wants you to know hope like you've never known before. If you've lost your hope, He wants to give it back to you. But to get it back will require us to do something different. That's why at 6:8...

We are all about transformation.

In fact, that's the whole reason we exist: "To see people and places transformed by the presence and power of Christ in me."

Those last 3 words are key. "Christ In Me." We have absolutely no desire to try to accumulate people so we can claim them on our attendance roster. (Neither do most churches, by the way.) You aren't a notch in our belt or a number on a spreadsheet.

You are a person made in the image of God.

You have ridiculous value and dignity. And you, yes you - person reading these words - were made to experience the intimate presence and resurrection power of Christ in YOU. Not around you from other Christians, but IN YOU.

This is what Jesus' death gives us. Hebrews 10:19-20 tells us that Jesus' death opened up a new and living way for all believers to enter into God's presence.

Our goal at SixEight is not simply to give you good teaching, as important as that may be. We don't want you to be dependent on us for your spiritual growth. Instead, we want to equip you with the tools you need to spend time with God for yourself. Not vicariously through our teaching, but to open your Bible, read it, pray through it and listen to God speak to you as you do that.

"So what should I expect if I come?"

Good question! You can expect to find a group of very normal people who are all in different places on their Jesus journey.

You can expect to see people who have pens and notebooks, who are working to develop various Jesus habits and who have ups and downs, wins and losses, just like you.

You can expect to have a somewhat normal worship service with some exceptions. For example, we sit around tables and take time out of the service to talk about what we learned over the previous week as we were walking with God. And we do that BEFORE the sermon. Why? Because we so deeply believe that God wants to talk to you directly that we want to give you the opportunity to share what God teaches you before you hear a sermon about it.

One last thing. You can expect to find a crazy amount of support, encouragement and camaraderie on your Jesus journey. You will find leaders in the church who will sit down with you and graciously walk you through the process. You will find others on the journey who will encourage you to do what you can and remind you that no one is being forced to do any of this. You will find a group of people who are so passionate about knowing Jesus that you can actually sense it when you walk in the room.

You will find the church. And you just might find the home you've been looking for.

"Umm, what does 6:8 mean? Are you some kind of a cult?"

It's a reference to the Bible verse that drives who we are as a church. Micah 6:8: "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? But to Do Justice and to Love Mercy and to Walk Humbly with your God."

That's the kinds of church we want to be. A church full of people who Do Justice, Love Mercy and Walk Humbly With God.

Our #1 aim is to help you become more like Christ.

We don’t expect people to be perfect. You don’t have to get your life together before coming to Christ. In fact, often times that’s counterproductive. At the same time we all have broken habits and ways of thinking that keep us going to the same dry wells. And, while God does the bulk of the work in our spiritual transformation, we cannot sit idly by. We must be participants.
We aren’t the average church. We don’t say that to put down any other church, we actually work hard to partner with and be united with all churches. But, what God has given us to do may be different from what God has given other churches to do.
As a church, we have doubled down on transformation. Other than the Gospel, (which is all about transformation by the way), there is nothing we cling to more tightly than seeing people become more like Christ. It’s not easy, it doesn’t happen over night. But it’s worth every ounce of effort.

6:8 is a family. We loved how welcomed we felt.

Kaycee M.

I love that we have a heart and put allot of effort into helping the people many would ignore or not have opportunity to help, especially young boys without a father in the picture

Russ M.

I love how 6:8 church is the only one I've been to where I don't feel judged. Everyone there has a past and we all come together to deal with that and grow together in our relationship with Christ.

Alannah B.

I love 6:8 because I feel like were all family. I feel safe. I feel such love from everyone. I can count on everyone if I have a problem, or I just need a hug. I am comfortable.
