Why does Presence Church exist, and where is God leading us next? On Welcome Home Sunday, Pastors Ben Mueller and Patrick look back on Presence Church’s first year and return to the convictions that started it all: God’s presence, Jesus’ Great Commission, and a Spirit-led vision for making disciples.

What is actually worth building your life around? At Church in the District, Pastor Parker McGoldrick teaches from Matthew 13:44–46 as Presence Church and Ankeny Gospel Church gather together around Jesus.

What does your life weigh? In this message from Daniel 5, Pastor Ben Mueller walks through the story of Belshazzar’s feast and the writing on the wall.
