Encountering God through Worship, Prayer, Creativity and Authentic Community
The Warehouse exists to host the Presence of God. Together we share in the teachings of Jesus in Scripture, we raise our voices in worship & prayer and creatively express our devotion through The Arts. As we gather together we experience the healing power of God’s love and He faithfully meets us in our broken humanity. We believe every person is uniquely designed to carry God’s Presence through faith in Jesus as He invites us to live as Sons and Daughters of God.

Our Gatherings
SUNDAYS
We believe every one of us as a different part of the Body of Christ has something valuable to contribute…Each Sunday we gather at
4pm at 208 W 25th Street in the creative RR District of Norfolk to share ‘songs, hymns and spiritual songs’, and hear what the God of our spirits is speaking to each of us for the edification and encouragement of everyone. This service is interactive and lively and often spontaneous! We love to plan….but then to leave room for whatever God wants to speak. He is so creative and always speaking to all of us!
WELCOME Families
Family that prays and plays together stays together! Our space is designed for families to spread out in a ‘home-like’ environment for kids to worship alongside their parents and explore their own creativity in worship…sitting at a table drawing, twirling or cozied up on a sofa. Children have big spirits and are just as able to hear from the Lord as adults are….and at times hear even clearer. We love when they share what God is speaking to them!
We are exited about utilizing the beautiful upstairs soon as well for kids as we grow and develop that side of this ministry!
Lindsey and I are truly passionate about people hearing the voice of God for themselves…connecting with the dreams He has put in their heart…and providing a place for those dreams to be pursued. We lead people toward Jesus, not toward ourselves. We are here to hopefully lead people to weather the journey of their life walking alongside Jesus…and provide a safe place to grow in relationship with God and share the fruit of their life in the context of Community!
COLLABORATION and SHARING our GIFTS
Events
ART: EXHIBITIONS and Classes
Visual creative expression of our Humanity in its process with God, in its struggle…in its joys and pains…is something we hold dearly and can’t wait to foster through regular Exhibitions as well as Art Classes in this space. God created ALL of us to be creative in one way or another. We love to see this aspect of His nature expressed no matter what the medium is. Our very first Exhibition will be this June 14 and will be the first of many gatherings hosting visual arts/crafts classes, music workshops, even cooking classes! We can’t wait to roll these out to the Community!
Building Community with MUSICIANS
MUSIC is a huge part of what we value, and experiening the corporate worship of God, flowing in his boundless creativity and experiencing the healing that sound and corporate worship brings not only builds community but takes us each deeper into the realm of the Spirit in which God and His Father and Son Jesus exist. We will be hosting regular rehearsal, jam sessions, dinners, and discussions for all of the musically inlined and for those who want to use their gift of music in the Gatherings taking place at the Warehouse.
BIBLE Study and PRAYER Groups
We Love the Word of God and will be holding Bible studies and Prayer groups during the week in this beautiful space and look forward to getting more intimate relationships going in smaller groups! We look forward to weekly and seasonal themed studies and groups to gather and pursue relationship with Jesus and each other.
