Community Events are the heartbeat of Watch Altars — the worship nights, prayer meetings, seasonal celebrations and welcome socials where strangers become spiritual family. Built on Acts 2, this is the church gathered: devoted to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread and prayer.

Why We Gather
Not events for events' sake — the church, gathered.
Every community event exists for one reason: to stir one another up to love and good works. The early church didn't just attend a service — they shared life, meals, prayers and worship daily. Our gatherings are an invitation into that same kind of spiritual family, where you are known, prayed for, and never alone.

What gathering has done
Save Your Spot
Let us know you're coming
We'll send you a reminder, look for you at the door, and make sure you have someone to sit with. No one walks in alone.
“Let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works.” — Hebrews 10:24
Common Questions
Before you come
Do I need to be a Christian to come?
Not at all. Every event is open to every Triton — wherever you are with faith, you are genuinely welcome. Many of our community first came just curious, or to support a friend.
What should I expect at Friday Worship?
About 45 minutes of live worship music, a 25-minute message from the Bible, and time afterward to meet people over food. Come as you are — no dress code, no pressure.
Is there a cost?
Every community event is free. Seasonal trips or retreats may have a small cost, but scholarships are always available — no student is ever turned away for finances.
I'm shy — will I feel out of place?
Tell us you're coming via RSVP and our welcome team will personally meet you at the door and introduce you to people. You'll never have to walk in alone.
