Primarily Vertical or Horizontal?

SixSixteen Friday Night is this coming Friday (3/28) at 6:30 p.m.  The gathering takes place at the downtown campus in Room 52, the youth basement area.  For those who are unfamiliar with the downtown campus, we will have signs directing you where to go.  If you can’t find it, just ask someone.

Come prepared to get vertical.  Though we hope that the environment feels friendly, we created SixSixteen not as a social gathering but as a worship gathering.  To that end we orient the entire gathering vertical rather than horizontal.

One of the motivations for being intentionally vertical is that we are mindful that when some people hear “singles ministry” they automatically think “meat market.”  We can’t prevent biases nor can we prevent individuals coming with a meat market mentality.  We are aware of this and continue to recruit married people to serve singles at SixSixteen as a way to release some of the tension that can be felt by a single who comes alone.  Additionally, we try to so plan, pray, teach, greet, and worship in such a way that the dominating tone of the gathering is vertical worship.

Pray with us that SixSixteen is a night filled with intense verticality and pure, loving horizontality.  We look forward to worshipping with you.

If you have additional questions, feel free to contact us through the link at the top of the page.  We’ll do our best to get back with you as time allows.
