Fireside hymn enjoyment: “As a sapphire”
Our Own Voice - the church life in Toledo singing a new hymn on the evening of July 3rd, 2022 as we journey together on a tenting life on the earth.
"O, what clarity!
A divine building!
All the sea and sky’s so clear!
Lord, Thou art near.
Dearest Lord, pave me more
Till transparent for Thee.
I’ll one day as a sa-pphire be."
Wedding
In the church, a wedding is always a unique testimony of the marriage between God and His church. It's a privilege for young couples to “perpetually begin” their human journey of marriage with a strong foundation in the Lord and for the Lord. As two of our young couples got married, this was also a corporate wedding day—all of us got married to our dearest Lord Jesus Christ.

Churching at the Zoo: Our Next Generation
Braving the cold to visit our local zoo was far from an ordinary experience. In the midst of the lions and elephants, a mysterious family continued on their journey together. These are the eternal moments that create lasting memories.
The Joy Cluck Club: Church Chicken Coop
As the church, we have an organic living together. We have raised more than 20 chickens, caring for them day by day, cleaning the coop, filling the food and water, providing protection, and collecting eggs. Watching the baby chicks grow up has given us much laughter and more—including a lot of fresh and delicious eggs!
Farming Together
Early spring is a time to begin preparing the soil for new growth. The early church lived, ate and prayed together, and so do we. Our corporate garden is just one expression of our church life. This short video is a glimpse into the beginning of our planting.
