It all started…

During the pandemic, our small group met regularly, shared a meal, engaged in meaningful discussions centered around biblical teachings, prayed together, and authentically worshiped Jesus in spirit and truth. During that season, we saw God working and He brought about tremendous growth, both individually and as a group. The experience was so incredibly powerful that when the pandemic eventually ended, we had a strong sense that our small group exemplified what the “church” of the 21st century was destined to become. Soon, Two Forty-Two was born. Our unique name stems from the book of Acts, where in Acts 2:42 it says, “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” These four elements perfectly describe what we envision for the Two Forty-Two community. We gather together, grow in our understanding and knowledge of God, encourage one another, and give of ourselves generously in love and service.

We are launching our dinner church by walking through a favorite community building series entitled “ALPHA.” It’s the definitive outline of the core principles of the Christian faith that all denominations agree on. ALPHA teaches that what unites us is infinitely greater than what divides us. By focusing on the fundamentals of Christianity in this way, we can engage in discussions and be transformed by the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
