(New to town)
Welcome to Madison.
Looking for a
Christian community?
Looking as a student
Beyond Sundays, our College Community meets Wednesdays at 6:30 PM. Meet other students, make lasting friends, and grow together.
Looking for my family
Your whole family is welcome. On Sundays, kids have a space to play and learn Bible stories in a fun, safe environment.
Looking as a professional
Moved here for Epic, UW–Madison, or somewhere else? We love helping people find a place to connect and feel at home.
(Explore Madison)
Get out and enjoy it.
As you settle in, take some time to explore the city and all the good it has to offer. Here are a few of our favorite spots. If you're getting around by bike, there's a BCycle station at Brittingham Park, a couple of minutes' walk from our door, and if you ride your own, there's a bike rack behind our building where you can lock up.
