A meaningful and engaging hour together.

Our gatherings follow four simple movements that help us slow down, encounter God, and carry what we’re learning into everyday life.

01 — Align
We begin with music, prayer, and a Psalm, making space to slow down and turn our attention toward God.

02 — Root
Through Scripture and Christ-centered teaching, we explore who God is, what Jesus taught, and what following him looks like in everyday life.

03 — Examine
We practice the Examen, using guided questions and moments of silence to recognize God’s presence and discern how the Holy Spirit is inviting us to respond.

04 — Respond
We share open communion, remembering Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. We close with a blessing, carrying what we’ve received into the week as we seek to follow the Spirit’s leading.

Kids belong here.

We want children to be known, cared for, and encouraged to grow in their relationship with God and others. During our Sunday gathering, kids have their own space to build friendships, explore Scripture, and discover what following Jesus looks like in everyday life.


Belong

Build friendships, experience community, and discover that they have a place at Madison Church.


Believe

Explore the Bible, ask honest questions, and learn who Jesus is and what he taught.


Become

Put what they’re learning into practice through everyday acts of kindness, compassion, and love.

Your children’s care matters.

All Madison Church volunteers undergo background checks, including those serving in our children’s ministry.

For your first visit

When you arrive, we’ll introduce you to our children’s ministry team, show you where kids gather, and help your family get settled.

A few things you might be wondering.

Visiting a church for the first time can bring up questions. Here are a few things worth knowing before you arrive.

What should I wear?
There’s no need to dress up. Wear whatever feels comfortable.

What if I’m not sure what I believe?
You’re welcome. Madison Church is a place for people exploring faith, asking questions, and figuring out what following Jesus might look like.

Can I just observe?
Absolutely. You’re welcome to participate at your own pace. Feel free to listen, reflect, or join in. There’s no pressure to sing, pray aloud, or take communion.

Can I participate in communion?
We practice open communion. You’re welcome to participate, and you’re equally welcome to simply observe.
