AS IS Church

THANKFUL THURSDAY

We're grateful for you.

Not just the people who show up every single week. Not just the ones who volunteer or lead or make big sacrifices.

All of you.

The ones who come when life is messy. The ones who show up late. The ones who sit quietly in the corner and slowly, week by week, start to believe they belong here.

You make this community what it is.

Your presence matters. Your story matters. Your willingness to show up and be real with people who are trying to figure it out too, that's what builds a family.

We're thankful for the laughter in the gym. The conversations around the dinner table. The kids asking questions. The teens finding their voice. The adults getting honest.

We're thankful for you choosing AS IS. For letting us be part of your journey. For trusting us with your heart.

This is more than a church. This is family. And we're grateful every single day for the people who make it feel like home.

Thank you.

FAMILY NIGHT WEDNESDAY

May 27th | 5:00–7:30 PM

End of the month. Middle of the week. Exactly when you need to remember you're not in this alone.

5:00 PM ~ FITNESS
Partner workouts where the person next to you becomes the reason you finish strong. All ages. All levels. All welcome.

6:00 PM ~ FAMILY DINNER
Pull up a chair. The food's hot, the people are better, and the conversations will remind you why community matters.

6:30 PM ~ SMALL GROUPS BY AGE
Kids head to their space. Teens to theirs. Adults dig into what's real. Everyone grows at their own pace, in their own way.

You don't have to be at your best to walk through these doors. Come exactly as you are right now.

That's who we want to see.

AS IS Church | Rockwood
See you tonight.

This weekend is the 5th Saturday of the month.

We would love for you to come serve the men at the Harbor with us. We will be grilling burgers and having fellowship with them.

Please contact [email protected] if you would like to help and for more information.

Today we pause.

Not for sales or a day off, but to remember real people who did not come home. Sons and daughters. Mothers and fathers. Neighbors and friends who gave everything.

This morning we are doing the Murph, one of the most well known Memorial Day workouts in CrossFit, named after Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy who was killed in action in Afghanistan in 2005. We do not do it to suffer. We do it to remember. Every rep is a small way of saying his name and the names of all who made the same sacrifice.

After the workout we are firing up the grill and sharing a meal together, because community is one of the things worth protecting.

The rest of the day we are off, and we think that is right. Rest is not disrespect. It is part of honoring a gift that cost someone everything.

If you are carrying a heavy heart today, whether for someone you lost recently or years ago, you are not alone. We see you. We sit with you in this.

Take a moment today to say a name out loud. Tell a story. Let the grief be real.

That is how we honor the ones we have lost.

Throwback and Thankful Thursday!

Today we are pausing to celebrate someone who pours everything he has into the people around him... our very own Scott!

Scott, you love God with your whole heart, and it shows in everything you do. You show up for your family, you show up for this community, and you show up for every single person who walks through our doors. Whether you are lifting weights with the youth or adults, teaching the Word, mentoring, or serving quietly behind the scenes, you bring the same passion and dedication to all of it.

We are so grateful for the way you pursue the next generation and every adult who needs to know they belong somewhere. Your love for youth and families is not just a ministry to you, it is a calling, and this community is better because you said yes to it.

So many of us found a home here and became family because you were faithful to follow the call God placed on your heart. That is not a small thing. That is a legacy.
We are thankful for your heart, your leadership, and your friendship.

Today we celebrate YOU!

Happy Birthday, Scott!

Drop a birthday message in the comments and let him know how much he means to you!
