Damascus Road Community Church

Join us this Sunday as we officially launch three services at DRCC! We’re on a mission to create Room for One More; one more person, one more family, one more community to experience the hope of Christ and catch the vision for how our lives can make a difference in the Kingdom of God. As we celebrate the launch of our third service, we’ll dive into the story of two sons and their desperate attempt...

We kick off a brand new series this weekend titled, "Room for One More," where we will be talking about how, at some point in our lives, we have all faced a task, challenge, or situation we felt was much larger than what we could handle on our own. Larger-than-life issues need solutions that are larger than this life. This is why we rely on the strength, wisdom, and power of Christ working in and...

The loneliness epidemic continues to grow. While it might be tempting to diagnose the contributing factors such as Covid-19, social media, or the rise of the one-person household; the reality is connection between humans has always been complicated. The faithful questions we need to wrestle with are, “What is God’s response to our loneliness, and does the church have a role to play?” Throughout sc...

his shouldn't even be a question! In a world full of selfishness and hate, Jesus said, "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." Love is literally the main identifier for Jesus followers! So what's going on? Join us this weekend as we talk about the way we treat each other, what that says to a world hungry for love, and what it looks like to live in a way tha...

Why does the church want my money? Join us as we continue our series "Church, But Make it Better" where we will explore the ever-sensitive topic of tithing. First, we will put everyone at ease and let you know that this Sunday will not include a giving push or any hard sell on why you need to give more to the church. Second, this week will include authentic wrestling and frank confessions over mon...

Most of us have what appear to be never-ending to-do lists. As we complete one list, another one begins, and we find ourselves behind when we feel like we have just gotten ahead. Life is filled with problems to be solved, tasks to be completed, and issues to be addressed. Church is really no different. As we seek to do the work of a “Life Saving Station,” there is no shortage of jobs to be complet...

One of the most amazing truths of the human experience and one of the most glorious realities of God is that there is always a new day coming and a subsequent opportunity to choose who we want to be and how we want to live. When the calendar flips each year, it brings this reality into clear focus with the freshness of a new start and all the resolutions and changes that come with it. What is true...

Kick off the New Year with us at Declaration Sunday! On the first Sunday of 2025, we’ll gather to worship, pray, celebrate baptisms, and take communion together as we consider what we want this New Year to be like for ourselves, our church, and our community. We’re expectant for how God will meet us as we come curious and open-handed for the year ahead. See you on Declaration Sunday!

Merry Christmas and Happy (almost) New Year! We're shaking things up this week and creating space for our volunteers and staff to rest and celebrate the holidays with their families by experiencing church online. Join Pastor Faith, Andy and the team, and a few special guests for worship, a word, and an activity for the whole family. We'll wrap up our series "Same Story: Always Changing" as we exp...

Life moves fast—trends come and go, news changes every minute, and it’s easy to feel like you’re just trying to keep up. But what if, in the middle of all this change, there’s something constant, something solid? The Christmas story is 2,000 years old—angels, shepherds, a baby in a manger—but it’s not just history. It’s hope that doesn’t fade, love that doesn’t fail, it’s a God who stepped into ou...

So… what is your favorite moment in the whole wide world of Christmas movies?   Is it when Buddy screams out “SANTA!!!!” in the middle of the department store from the movie Elf?   Maybe it’s the moment when Kevin McCallister breaks the fourth wall and says directly into the camera: “This is it. Don’t get scared now,” in the 90’s classic Home Alone.   Or maybe you are more in favor of young Tiny T...

What are you feeling as you come to the end of 2024? Joy? Hope? Fear? Loneliness? Confusion? Assurance? Anger? Peace?   All of these emotions are part of the human experience - impacted by both our personal circumstances and the state of our world.   God understands all of these emotions because He came and shared our life.  He experienced and bore the same weakness that we often feel.  He came, n...

Join us this weekend as we begin a new sermon series focused on the Christmas story. Over the next five weeks, we will examine this familiar story through a different lens wrestling with the question “What relevance does the Christmas story have in my life today? “  As we embark on this journey together, our hope and prayer is that God will speak to each of us in a powerful way, helping us experie...

When you think about eternity, what comes to mind? For some of us, eternity looks like pearly gates and streets paved with gold. Others envision disembodied spirits floating on clouds playing harps. Still others envision… nothing.   In our series Kingdom Come, we’ve been on a five-week journey examining what it means to be a part of the Kingdom of God. As we wrap up this series, let’s take a look...

Everyone wants to be an influencer it seems. Maybe we can learn from the greatest Influencer the world has known. His influence has nothing to do with marketing or style or getting people to buy stuff. Rather his influence led people to abandon their old life and their old way of evaluating what’s valuable. And He invites us to influence others like he did - through the example of lives that are c...

When I was in middle school, all the kids identified with one of two distinct groups. You were either a “head banger” or you were a “yo boy or yo girl.” To identify with one group or the other came with a whole list of activities, music, clothing that were associated with each group. The "bangers" skateboarded, listened to grunge music, wore JNCO jeans and grew their hair long. The "yo boys and yo...

We continue our “Kingdom Come” series this weekend as we look to answer the question: “WHY AM I HERE?”   So often, we ask ourselves questions about life and its meaning. Given the circumstances and situations we face today, we can develop legitimate feelings of confusion, doubt, and anxiety.   Could this be due to viewing our lives and existence from the wrong perspective? Do we feel like there ha...

Have you ever woken up, maybe when you were on vacation, and it took you awhile to figure out where you were? Or, have you ever thought you knew where you were but then looked around and found you were in a completely different location than you thought? The technical term for these feelings is “disorientation,” and we have all experienced them at one time or another. Disorientation can happen in...

Jake and Elwood knocked on the door and said: “We are on a mission from God” in the classic film “The Blues Brothers." They really weren’t, but those who have experienced God are. Why? Because the reality of meeting God changes you into a person of mission: one who is willing to leave what is comfortable in order to love and serve others. As you take risks to bless others, you will find yourself r...

I saw a guy at a coffee shop last week wearing a shirt that said "What is your WHY?"    I have been thinking about that question a lot ever since. I'd like to make that a two-part question: "What is your WHAT?" and then, "What is your WHY?"   Serving is my WHAT... but that isn't my WHY… Would you join me in reading Isaiah 58:6-12 every day between now and Sunday? We get to do this!

Indescribable. Devastating. Unbelievable. If you have watched any news recently, you have likely heard these adjectives employed in attempt to capture the effect Hurricane Helene had on communities across the southeastern United States. Many prayed to be spared from the disaster, but the reality is that storms happen. Storms large and small are a fact of life – when they blow in, they can leave ho...

Do you ever wish others could see the world as clearly as you do? If only other people could see where they mess up, surely the world would be a better place. Sound familiar? There is little we love more as a society than pointing out where others are wrong; and Christians are no exception. Call it accountability, helping a struggling friend, or even Christian love; the propensity to make judgment...

Ever heard the quote “you can’t take it with you?” This can have two meanings and presents us with two options: consume and accumulate as much as possible now while you can OR consume and accumulate no more than you need because abundant, eternal life isn’t found in the abundance of stuff.    How do we live in a way where our money and possessions don’t own us? How do we overcome anxiety and find...

The center of the Sermon on the Mount is The Lord’s Prayer - a prayer still prayed daily by Christians all over the world.   It’s more than a few familiar stanzas to hurriedly rehearse. In fact - it summarizes and empowers Jesus’s teaching.   It has shaped Christian hearts and minds for 2000 years - and it has the power to do the same for us today.   Join us this weekend as we sing and pray and st...

Does your life make for great theater?   “All the world’s a stage” according to Jaques in Shakespeare’s As You Like It.   Regardless of whether or not you consider yourself a “performer,” you don’t have to put on “an act” to earn the applause of Christ.   No matter what “stage” of life you are in, Jesus wants to be your secret “Audience of One.”   Join us this Sunday for part 3 in our series on th...
