THE WAY

The Way is a teaching series that walks us through the cultural statements of Downtown Hope, not as slogans to admire, but as practices that shape how we live, love, and follow Jesus together.This series asks a formative question: What kind of people is the gospel forming us into? We’ll explore each cultural statement and trace it back to the way of Jesus, the rhythms of the early church, and the everyday places we live and serve, our homes, our work, our neighborhoods, and our city.

If Jesus really is the Way, then His way doesn’t just save us, it walks us forward, together.

We Reflect Heaven On Earth | Matthew 6:9-13

When Jesus taught us to pray, “Your kingdom come… on earth as it is in heaven,” He was giving us a vision. A vision of heaven breaking into real life, real homes, real neighborhoods.

In this episode, we’ll explore what it means for heaven to overlap with Annapolis, and how that overlap happens through formed disciples. Join us this Sunday as we ask: What would it look like for Annapolis to look a little more like heaven?

We Pray First | Luke 11:1-4

In Luke 11, the disciples ask Jesus, “Teach us to pray.” This week we explore how Jesus forms His followers through prayer, and what it means for us to become a church that prays first.
