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

WORSHIP SERVICES | LEADERSHIP
The Onyx House is much more than a place to live. It is a place to develop key relationships (God, others, our self) 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 legendary 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


Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all public worship services at the Onyx House have been cancelled until further notice. You can find out about other online or in-person activities we are doing on our FaceBook and Instagram feeds.

Every Friday night at 7:30PM (Tuesday's at 8PM in the Summer), the Onyx House hosts a worship service for College-Age adults. We sing, pray, study the scriptures and receive communion together. We also have food and fun activities planned for after service. 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.
