Sunday 10:00 AM

Welcome to Paradox Church, where our motto is 'Come as You Are, No Perfect People Allowed.' Each and every week we strive to demystify the Bible and understand how God’s truths--as confusing and contradictory as they may seem--have tremendous impact on our day-to-day lives. We seek to do this in a way that will arrest your attention, appeal to your sense of humor, and lead you to a richer relationship with God and his people. So sit back, relax, and check out a few of the things happening around here before we get started. If you have any questions, stop by the Hub at the bottom of the stairs after the service.
