LOVE GOD WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT.
LOVE PEOPLE WITH EVERYTHING HE GIVES YOU.

The Onyx House is much more than a place to live. It is a place to develop key relationships (God, others, ourselves) in the context of a caring community of other followers of Jesus. It is a place to grow together – celebrating and enjoying the good times, and supporting and encouraging each other through tough times. Whether it is attending a service on a Friday night, enjoying a meal at the house, or living here while you work on your college education, we hope that this is a place where you experience the love of Jesus in tangible, practical and wholistic ways similar to what we read about the earliest Christian community (Acts 2:42-74).

WORSHIP SERVICES

Picture
Every Friday night at 6:00PM, the Onyx House hosts dinner, followed by a worship service at 7:00PM. Both are open for all college-age adults. At the Friday gatherings, we sing, pray, study the scriptures and receive communion together, and just hang out. This is a time to gather with other students to focus our minds and hearts on Jesus and to share His love with one another, while connecting with old friends and meeting new ones.

Worship services at the Onyx House meet Fridays at 7:00pm during the academic year. All are welcome. We hope you will join us!
