What to expect when you visit us...
Sundays at 10am at Da Vinci Academy Elementary
in northern Colorado Springs
Let us not neglect meeting together... (Hebrews 10:25)
Sunday Service
We’re excited that you’re considering joining us! This is a great season to plug in, build relationships and grow in your faith.
When you arrive on Sunday morning at the top of the da Vince Academy steps, you’ll find a hearty welcome, coffee, tea and snacks in the foyer. Continuing to the sanctuary, you’ll experience a service that holds God and worship in reverence.
If stairs are problematic, please park behind the school, on the northeast side, and enter through the hallway past the gym and music room.

Expositional Preaching
The message being taught is the message the Bible is teaching, not some guy's opinion. We prefer to teach through entire books of the Bible, so that, A) we don't skip the hard parts, and B) we take in all God has to say and bring it to bear on life, including on the difficult topics the world presents to us.
We believe that music is a God-ordained means of worshiping him, not a form of entertainment for us. While we have some freedom with style and arrangement (hymns vs modern, etc), the emphasis must be on solid theological content. Because guess why? You will be singing those lyrics in your head all week. So the words need to be good.
Reverent
Worship
Sound
Doctrine
We believe that right theology plays a vital role in the development of authentic faith. Theology simply means knowledge of God. We need to know who Jesus is and why we love him in order to have a right relationship with him. Sound doctrine forms the foundation for our love, praise and worship.
We believe the family that worships together is one that makes disciples where it matters first - in the home. We seek to support families being together and to disciple parents to disciple their children. To this end, children are integrated into service, worshiping alongside their parents. We have them participate in weekly catechism aimed at instructing them in the basics of the faith in an interactive way. We provide kids an activity sheet and coloring page that follow along with the sermon so that their active minds can engage with the message while they worship alongside their families. We also seek to connect those without local families to the blessing brought by relationship with those in the family of faith.
Family Integrated Worship
Communion
We believe it best to celebrate the Lord’s Supper each week. As a means of grace, communion is a reminder of Jesus' blood that was poured out for our forgiveness, of His subsequent resurrection, of His victory over sin and death, and of the reality of His coming return.
On the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sunday of each month, we have Sunday School at 9am. Classes are available for Children (3-11 or so), Youth (12-18 or so) and Adult with teaching appropriate to each age.
Age-Specific Sunday School
Fellowship
Meal
On the first Sunday of each month we have a fellowship meal following the service at the home of one our families. Main dish is provided. Sides are potluck. An informal discussion related to the sermon follows until about 2pm.
