Meet Pastor Rick & Alicia

We’re so excited to introduce Pastor Rick and his wife, Alicia, who recently moved to Northwest Indiana to plant our church!

Rick is a passionate, Spirit-filled leader with a heart for making disciples and seeing people grow in their walk with Jesus. He has spent years investing in youth and young adults, helping them discover purpose and live out their faith boldly.

Alicia shares that same heart for people—she’s known for her warmth, hospitality, and genuine love for building community. Together, they bring a beautiful mix of faith, fun, and family to everything they do.

When they’re not serving in the church or connecting with others, you’ll probably find them watching a sporting event, spending time outdoors, or hanging out with their dog.

We can’t wait to see all that God is going to do through them here in NWI!

Planning your Visit

A Warm Hello

The following information is specifically for those planning a visit, so you can know exactly what to expect at our Sunday service.

Where and When

We currently meet in a home for our Sunday service at 4:00 p.m. We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early to find a seat and get settled. You’ll be greeted at the door by someone from our Welcome Team.

We meet at:

10143 Sumter Court, Cedar Lake IN 46303

There is parking available on-site.

Our Service

There is no dress code here, so please just come as you are. Our service begins at 4:00 p.m. with a warm welcome followed by a time of worship. We typically have 3 or 4 songs. During this time, you may hear members pray out loud or read a small passage from the Bible. Sometimes people might share something that they believe God is saying to the whole church family. This might be a new experience for you, but it’s a natural part of how we connect with God together.

After a brief look at church news, one of our leaders shares a practical, biblically-based message. At the end of the service, there is an opportunity to receive prayer if you would like.

What about my kids?

We love having the whole church family worshipping God together! Children stay with their parents at the start of the service (welcome, songs, and announcements). We'll then announce when it's time for the younger members to head to their groups:

Nursery (0-3 years) A fun space for toddlers. (Infants <6 months are welcome to use the space, but must be accompanied by a parent.)
Pebbles (3-11 years) A mix of Bible stories, music, crafts, and games.
Youth (11-18 years) Our teens stay in the main service for the sermon. (Click here for more details about our youth group.)

Safety & Registration: You will need to go with your children to register them as part of our child safety policy. While you're dropping them off, we'll take a short "chat break" to give you a chance to come back before the sermon begins. Please pick your children up as soon as the service finishes.

Stay for food: On the first Sunday of every month, please join us for a free community meal after the service. As our guest, we'd love to serve you and get to know you better!

Getting Connected

Sundays are great, but our Small Groups are where you can really build friendships and find support. We would love to put you in touch with a small group leader who will be more than happy to invite you along to their group.

We also invite you to join our Alpha course -- a relaxed space to explore the big questions of life and faith.

We hope, whoever you are, that you will feel at home at our church.
