Neighborhoods

They offer:
- Meaningful connection

- Spiritual growth and transformation over time

Come and Stay childcare is available for those attending a summer Neighborhood.
Neighborhoods focus on three things every week:
Train
Learn about God through study and guided discussion of the Bible and the weekly sermon.
Bless
Care for each other and our community by getting to know one another, serving, and showing hospitality.
Recharge
Connect with God through prayer, silence, worship, and other practices.
Classes
Go deeper into who you’re becoming.
Classes are short-term learning opportunities designed to complement—not replace—your Neighborhood experience.
Classes help you grow in specific outcomes, equipping you to experience the life-giving freedom of Jesus as a:
- Image Bearer
- Scarred Restorer
- Daily Ambassador
- Known Friend
- Kingdom Partner
Classes will return in Fall 2026!
Groups
Groups at Third offer care and support, providing safe, honest spaces to walk with others.
Coffee with Moms
Thursdays, June 18–July 30
9:30–11:00 AM
This summer, join us in a seven-week series titled Wellness and the Word. We will study the Bible to see what God says about wellness from our spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being. Each week we’ll partake in an activity paired with scripture to refresh our souls, transform our minds, and learn to live as God has called us to.
