What Makes Us Different Keeps Us Significant: There are a few things you may see different at The Avenue, and that is on purpose and for a purpose. You may notice some people don't dress, act, or talk like most "church people", and the reason is that for many people The Avenue is the first church many have gone to. We make it a point to make The Avenue a place where people who are new to the Christian Faith can grow in grace without having the fear or "doing it wrong"

But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind... Luke 14:13
Every person is made in the image of God and deserves to be loved. Loving people takes more than an hour on Sundays and that is why we are a church that puts an emphasis on having relationship with people. Many of the people at our church have social and cultural labels such as poor, addict, handicapped, felon, but we refuse to label people based on outward appearance, past experiences, or current struggles. We love others because Christ loves us.
