Proverbs 23:18 (NIV) - "There is surely a future hope for you, and your hope will not be cut off."
By definition a warehouse is a place in which things accumulate and are stored. As we know, there are no requirements or expectations of what is in a warehouse. Anything can be kept there whether it is new, old, pretty, ugly, unused or broken. Such is the intent of our church. We believe "Church" is not about a building, but about WHO is inside of it; a church is its people! Just like mosaic art, we are all pieces that may just seem like fragments, but with God as the ultimate artist, can turn us into something beautiful together. Our goal at Warehouse727 is to offer a gathering place for those seeking something more and that through real relationships and relevant teachings, will be prepared for future purposes in life. Our Pastors Jeff Iskra and Bobby Kraus (along with their amazing wives) have a genuine heart for God's will in their lives and in the lives of others. Their God given gifts and sincerity of ministry is transparent. The fact that they can relate real life relevance to God's word as well as being completely approachable is refreshing!
Oh yea...727 is our area code. We want to reach our local community as well as those surrounding us for the purpose of bringing them to a closer and more real relationship with Christ. So, that is where the 727 fits into our name!
Bring yourself as you are: we want to portray Christ in a real way. Don't think of us as your typical church ("church" isn't even in our name). You won't find men in suits and ties or women in their "Sunday dresses"; shorts and jeans are more our style. Being styled after post-modern ideas, what you will find when you walk in is a laid back, casual, cafe/coffee house type setting. From the cool lighting, to the table and chair setup to the industrial style accented decore, you will forget you are in "church". For those of you who expect that church music only consists of pipe organs and choirs, you will be pleasently surprised here. Lead by our house band of talented musicians and vocalists, you will find a great mix of contemporary worship music with a pop/rock/blues flair as well original music written by various members of the band. The music is loud but the worship is louder! We are simply a group of people who desire to come together and live life with one another and we welcome anyone else who is searching for the same.
Hebrews 10:22-25 (The Message)
So let's do it—full of belief, confident that we're presentable inside and out. Let's keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Let's see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching."
