His Place Church

Welcome to His Place, where the worship is heartfelt, the message is straightforward, and the children are given high priority. And please, just call me Bruce (after all, I don’t refer to you as Plumber Bill).

At His Place we appreciate authenticity, and treasure transparency. We’re real people, in a real world, serving a real God. That means we aim for a balanced mixture of lighthearted self-awareness and thoughtful God-awareness.

Have you ever felt “out of place” when faced with outmoded musical instruments, arcane religious jargon, and inexplicable rituals? I have, too. We’ve replaced those would-be barriers with culturally-relevant music, language, and traditions.

Oh, and visitors are always welcome to investigate our beliefs, patterns, and practices, in the pursuit of truth. So, whether you’re a spiritual seeker or a committed Christian, you’ve come to the right place … a fun place to get serious about God!

Please look around and get to know us … I’ll stay here and greet our next guest. And by the way, I’m glad you stopped by!

His Place is providing everyone in the church with free access to an extensive new video library called RightNow Media! Like a Netflix of faith-based videos, it has more than 14,000 Bible studies, topical teachings, and children’s shows that you can access anytime on your phone, iPad, computer, or TV. It provides videos for everyone – kids, youth, parents, men, women, married couples, college students, single adults – all aimed at helping you grow and live out your faith.
