life is better in community

At YpsiFree we believe God created us for community—we are meant to live in relationship with Jesus and with each other. One of the best sources of meaningful community is to gather with community.  In these groups, we open ourselves to becoming formed as people who love God, love all people, and follow Jesus together.

sundays

 

1st & 3rd Sundays | 4pm – 6pm | Geoff Tittyung & Tim Heires

Parenting is a joy. Parenting is also a nightmare-fueled mountainous descent atop an ancient, splintery toboggan toward an uncertainty destination.  Also, the toboggan is on fire.

Sunday Family Fun Day is a place for families to gather, share food, and exchange practical experience-won advice on how to lead our families as disciples of Jesus. We meet on the first and third Sundays at 4 to 6pm in the gym to apply that Sunday’s sermon to our family’s sometimes complicated lives.

Our families are the greatest challenge and resource the Lord, in his wisdom, has given to us. So, yeah, no pressure.
 
 

 

 Sundays | 5pm – 7pm | Steve & Cathy Glei

We will be reading about the life of Jesus and applying His life and practices to our own lives. Each community member will need to bring a Bible and journal.  We will be meeting from 5-7 p.m. at the Glei Home on the first, second and third Sundays of the month, with a Friday night meal at a local restaurant in the fourth week. This community group will start on Sunday, January 22.  Join us on this journey of patterning our lives after Jesus.  Sign up using the YpsiFree Connect Card online or in-person.
 
 

 

Sundays, February 19, 26 & March 5 | 11:30AM | YPSIFREE 

We love God, love all people and follow Jesus together.  How do we do live this out?  Learn about salvation, our statements, our strategy and our structure at YpsiFree.  Join us if you have been attending YpsiFree for a while or new to our community. Lunch will be provided. Sign up using the YpsiFree Connect Card online or in-person.
 
 

tuesdays

 
We invite you to pull up a chair & pour a cup of coffee each Tuesday morning. This community of men are committed to living the way of Jesus and understand the need for other brothers for resourcing and refinement.  We are men wanting to be strengthened with power through the Holy Spirit in our inner being so we may be and bring all for our Heavenly Father.
