Ways to get connected
Coworking at The Neighborhood
More than just being a place to get work done, the Neighborhood is about the people you can meet and the friends you can make when you show up to the same place together week after week, with the intention of getting to know others. We’re open from 1-5pm most Fridays, and we’d love for you to come by!
More about The Neighborhood: Cupertino’s Coworking Collective
We love the flexibility of working from home, but we know how isolating and lonely that can be.
Come join a welcoming indoor/outdoor co-working space that has a relaxed coffee shop vibe but with more of a community feel, a place where you’re known and can greet each other by name. Think of this as a space where you can come and focus on work, but also have as a launch pad to make new friends that you can get to know after work too.
And by the way, the Neighborhood is one of the ways we serve, love, and get to know our neighbors, so it’s free. Free is pretty rare around these parts, so we thought you might want to know!
We have AC, WiFi, snacks, seltzers, and charging ports a plenty, and a selection of Artizan Coffee pods (which are COMPOSTABLE, by the way!) so you can brew your own caffeine level. All free for participants—because we believe community is worth investing in!
So why work from home when you can work from here?
Working for Good - | Neighborhood Worship Gathering & Community Meal
This month’s neighborhood worship service will be followed by our usual community meal, and we’re featuring our favorite local food truck from Zaida’s Kitchen! Coming to the service and staying for the meal is a great way to meet new people, connect with God, and either deepen or explore faith.
Who are these Neighborhood Worship Services & Community Meals for anyway?
Everyone! As a new church, we have focused on building community and relationships, so that everyone will know that they are welcome and wanted.
If you’re curious about Jesus, new to church, or have been disconnected from the church for a long time, you will find a place to plug in, with a style of service that is accessible, thought-provoking, and honoring.
If you’re searching for a church family where you can use your God-given gifts to become more like Jesus, you’ll also find a home here, to grow, be transformed, and to serve. You’ll also get to experience the joy of seeing others respond to God—perhaps for the very first time!
What will the worship service look like?
We orient our Spirit-led service around the Christian Scriptures, with a spaciousness that allows us to respond to God as he speaks with us. Together we engage ancient and modern practices, which will include the option to participate in communion every service. We also share original music and liturgy that we write for our neighborhood, as well as classic hymns and historic prayers that have been giving people around the world hope and meaning for centuries.
Community meal
We follow every monthly service with community meal, where people can continue to connect around the table. Even though we’re grateful for the way tech improves our lives, we also know it can’t replace in-person interactions. There’s nothing like being with friends in real life. So after each service, we’ll have the opportunity to get to know new people, and also get to experience being known. Together, we’ll create a safe space—whether you’re an extrovert or introvert, whether you want to go deep or are more comfortable listening than speaking, you are welcome here!

Worship Gathering with Gentle & Lowly Book Discussion
We are taking our worship gathering across campus, meeting in a cozy and casual living room/lounge space in McHattie Hall (the building with the second tallest roof on our campus). We’ll sit in a circle instead of in rows, singing songs led on an acoustic guitar, and praying together. Instead of the sermon, we’ll dive into discussion together on Gentle & Lowly: Christ’s Heart for Sinners and Sufferers, chapters 10-12. After discussion, we’ll move to the communion table, where we serve each other communion, and then we continue to gather as the communion table becomes our dinner table.
By revealing the heart of Jesus for us to us, this book helps warm our hearts to God. If you’re curious about the character of Jesus, want to grow in your relationship to God, or could use a boost in your affection for God, join us on this journey. Didn’t get a chance to do the reading? Come anyway! We watch a short recap video before we dive into discussion, and you’ll get to hear from others in the group what stood out to them. Expect to be comforted and encouraged!
RSVP with your cell phone number to hello@wvneighborhoodchurch.org so we can text you a link to our group food order. Dinner is on us!
You can buy the book & study guide set here, but there are also digital and audiobook versions from other online retailers as well. And if cost is an obstacle for you, we’d be glad to purchase a set for you. (Just let us know when you RSVP!)
We meet at this same time a couple times a month for other gatherings: our monthly sanctuary service and our monthly community service project, so you’ll have time between sessions to read and either jot down some bullet points in your discussion guide or you can journal your thoughts.

Sunday Service Project - Food Pantry Glow Up & Produce-Sorting Party
We have an awesome weekend opportunity to serve one of our favorite local non-profit community partners from 4:15-6:15pm, followed by a meal. So come one and come all for a quick but helpful service project!
Details
West Valley Community Services wants to unite the community to fight hunger and homelessness, and they envision a community where every person has food on the table and a roof over their head. Clients shop the food pantry during the week, so the weekend is the best time to give it a deep clean!
We will be sweeping, wiping, scrubbing, vacuuming, and mopping: floors, shelves, fridges, freezers, carts, milk crates, and more. If we can clean it and make it shine, we will! We’ll also sort fresh produce that was donated from the surplus of local farmers’ markets over the weekend.
Drop us a line if you’re planning on coming so we can right-size the project for our group size: hello@wvneighborhoodchurch.org.
What to expect:
Soft socializing: meeting new people and/or getting to know them better while you serve alongside each other
Feeling a sense of satisfaction as you contribute to a significant local non-profit making a difference in people’s lives
A chance to stay for a meal afterward with other people who are serving alongside you
How to prepare:
Wear clothes you don't mind possibly getting grubby
Bring layers in case you get cold easily and/or volunteer to clean out any of the freezers/refrigerator sections
Latex gloves are provided, but if you have your own favorite pair of work gloves, bring those. Sometimes people like to wear a mask too—we use food-safe disinfectant spray, but it can be nice to not stick your face in what you just spritzed! Mask and gloves are both optional though.
Bring a water bottle
We will meet at WVCS, located at 10104 Vista Dr, Cupertino, CA 95014
Park on the street—parking is free, but you might want to give yourself a couple extra minutes to walk from the car
More about WVCS:

West Valley Community Services serves low-income and unhoused individuals and families in the West Valley communities of Cupertino, Saratoga, West San Jose, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, and the surrounding mountain regions.

Community-wide Candlelight Christmas Service
You're invited to our community-wide candlelight Christmas service on Sunday December 7th at 7pm. Whatever your background, whatever you believe, we would love to kick off the Christmas season with you.
Since we love getting to know people who have never been (or who are not currently) connected to a church, we're focused on featuring the traditional hallmarks of the holiday season while also making the service very relatable. Kids are welcome and we'll have special activity pages for them as they join adults in the service.
During the service, we'll sing classic carols together, and you'll hear a passage read from the Bible about how the birth of Jesus helps us to live with more freedom and joy. We'll think about what this looks like in Silicon Valley today, and offer a few moments for quiet reflection before concluding with our favorite tradition: passing candlelight from person to person as we sing "Silent Night" together. Each person will see how their light contributes to overcome the darkness, and to bringing joy and hope to a weary world.
Then we'll cross our courtyard from the sanctuary into our festively-decorated hall, where everyone can make their own cups of hot cocoa and decorate cookies with their neighbors. If you want to check out our free coworking space while you’re here, open most Mondays and Fridays, do that! Stay and hang. The service will end by 8pm but the cookie-decorating and cocoa-drinking is open-ended. Let the good times roll…and be dusted in sugar!
If you're new to church, or have been away from church for a long time, you are ESPECIALLY welcome here. We’re a church startup, so you'll fit right in—everyone is new!
WHERE TO PARK
We’re on the corner of Bollinger & Miller, and have parking lots on both wings, one off each street. The Bollinger parking lot connects to the Miller lot with a one-way driveway as well. We’ll have friendly folks in the parking lot ready to point the way. In the unlikely event that both parking lots fill up, there’s also free street parking on Miller. And you can also park at Hyde Middle School, which is just next door. So many options, all of them free!
WHAT TO WEAR
Anything goes. We want you to feel comfortable, so whatever you personally would wear to a simple holiday gathering or to meet up with some friends is perfect! Most importantly, we want you to come as you are. You’ll probably see a lot of people wearing Christmas colors, so that’s fun if you want to join in, but no pressure. It’s more important to us that you join us than what you’re wearing when you’re here!

Beautiful Day Service Project @ WVNC
Typically, our monthly service project is out in the city of Cupertino, as a way of serving our neighbors through the West Valley Community Services’ food pantry. This month, however, we’re partnering with Beautiful Day, a coalition of churches led by WestGate Church, to tackle service projects for neighbors even closer to home—sprucing up the playground and surrounding campus for the two schools that meet on our campus!
Participants must sign up here so that the project leads know how to organize the work among the various sites to make sure that each site has the help they need.
Each shift is four hours, from 8am-12pm or 1-5pm, with options to sign up for one four-hour shift on Saturday October 10 or Sunday October 11. Beautifying work will include moving mulch, landscaping, painting, staining, hanging string lights, and more.
Serving the community in this way will take the place of our usual Sunday afternoon gathering.

Missional Vocational Pathway Cohort Launch
If you are a follower of Jesus, what have been some of the most formative aspects of your journey to find and follow Jesus, what comes to mind? Maybe praying? Reading the Bible? Meeting with other believers? Serving in the community?
For most of us, work wouldn’t be among the first things that come to mind. But integrating our faith and our work completely energizes our lives.
We are launching a fantastic nine-month journey on Thursday October 8 here at WVNC, a cohort experience called the Missional Vocational Pathway, or MVP. We’ll meet on Thursday evenings, three Thursdays a month, over dinner, from 6:30-8pm. We’ll take a break from Thanksgiving through the New Year. We’ll resume in January before concluding in June. There is about 60-90 minutes of pre-work before each cohort meeting.
MVP was created by the Bay Area Center for Faith, Work & Tech for those who want to connect their faith in Jesus, their work, and their calling, in a deeper way. You’ll build rhythms that sustain you as you experiment with spiritual practices that you can integrate into your every day work. You’ll develop a personal theology of your specific work and explore calling and identity. MVP helps you bring together who you are, what you believe, the work that you do, and the way you follow God in the midst of it all.
This cohort requires commitment. There is a short two-page application that needs to be submitted by October 1st so that we can arrange an interview before the cohort launches. On the application, there will be a place to indicate financial need, as we have full and partial scholarships available. We do not want cost to be a barrier for anyone to grow in their faith!
To request the application, find out more information, or connect with us, head over to https://www.wvneighborhoodchurch.org/faith-and-work and click the “Tell me more” button.

This four-hour shift on October 3 will focus on prep work for the following weekend, such as power washing a concrete wall that encloses the playground, and potentially priming and painting the wall as well. Landscaping prep work might also be included, time permitting. Signing up to serve on October 3 will help pave the way for us to rock and roll the following weekend!

Expect to be comforted and encouraged!
RSVP with your cell phone number to hello@wvneighborhoodchurch.org so we can text you a link to our group food order. Dinner is on us!
You can buy the book & study guide set here, but there are also digital and audiobook versions from other online retailers as well. And if cost is an obstacle for you, we’d be glad to purchase a set for you. (Just let us know when you RSVP!)
We meet at this same time a couple times a month for other gatherings: our monthly sanctuary service and our monthly community service project, so you’ll have time between sessions to read and either jot down some bullet points in your discussion guide or you can journal your thoughts.
Coworking at The Neighborhood
More than just being a place to get work done, the Neighborhood is about the people you can meet and the friends you can make when you show up to the same place together week after week, with the intention of getting to know others. We’re open from 1-5pm most Fridays, and we’d love for you to come by!
More about The Neighborhood: Cupertino’s Coworking Collective
We love the flexibility of working from home, but we know how isolating and lonely that can be.
Come join a welcoming indoor/outdoor co-working space that has a relaxed coffee shop vibe but with more of a community feel, a place where you’re known and can greet each other by name. Think of this as a space where you can come and focus on work, but also have as a launch pad to make new friends that you can get to know after work too.
And by the way, the Neighborhood is one of the ways we serve, love, and get to know our neighbors, so it’s free. Free is pretty rare around these parts, so we thought you might want to know!
We have AC, WiFi, snacks, seltzers, and charging ports a plenty, and a selection of Artizan Coffee pods so you can brew your own caffeine level. All free for participants—because we believe community is worth investing in!
So why work from home when you can work from here?
Missional Vocational Pathway Cohort -Application Open Thru Oct. 1
If you are a follower of Jesus, what have been some of the most formative aspects of your journey to find and follow Jesus, what comes to mind? Maybe praying? Reading the Bible? Meeting with other believers? Serving in the community?
For most of us, work wouldn’t be among the first things that come to mind. But integrating our faith and our work completely energizes our lives.
We are launching a fantastic nine-month journey on Thursday October 8 here at WVNC, a cohort experience called the Missional Vocational Pathway, or MVP. We’ll meet on Thursday evenings, three Thursdays a month, over dinner, from 6:30-8pm. We’ll take a break from Thanksgiving through the New Year. We’ll resume in January before concluding in June. There is about 60-90 minutes of pre-work before each cohort meeting.
MVP was created by the Bay Area Center for Faith, Work & Tech for those who want to connect their faith in Jesus, their work, and their calling, in a deeper way. You’ll build rhythms that sustain you as you experiment with spiritual practices that you can integrate into your every day work. You’ll develop a personal theology of your specific work and explore calling and identity. MVP helps you bring together who you are, what you believe, the work that you do, and the way you follow God in the midst of it all.
This cohort requires commitment. There is a short two-page application that needs to be submitted by October 1st so that we can arrange an interview before the cohort launches. On the application, there will be a place to indicate financial need, as we have full and partial scholarships available. We do not want cost to be a barrier for anyone to grow in their faith!
To request the application, find out more information, or connect with us, head over to https://www.wvneighborhoodchurch.org/faith-and-work and click the “Tell me more” button.
Working for Good - | Neighborhood Worship Gathering & Community Meal
We’re continuing our sermon & discussion series, Working for Good. Guest preacher and workplace leader Dr. Manish Shah will share how God can use seasons of dislocation in our lives to help us better seek the flourishing of the places where we live, work, and study. We will see how the prophet Jeremiah’s letter to the exiles relates to our lives today, and be encouraged to root ourselves in community.
This month’s neighborhood worship service will be followed by our usual community meal, and we’re featuring our favorite local food truck from Zaida’s Kitchen! Coming to the service and staying for the meal is a great way to meet new people, connect with God, and either deepen or explore faith.
Who are these Neighborhood Worship Services & Community Meals for anyway?
Everyone! As a new church, we have focused on building community and relationships, so that everyone will know that they are welcome and wanted.
If you’re curious about Jesus, new to church, or have been disconnected from the church for a long time, you will find a place to plug in, with a style of service that is accessible, thought-provoking, and honoring.
If you’re searching for a church family where you can use your God-given gifts to become more like Jesus, you’ll also find a home here, to grow, be transformed, and to serve. You’ll also get to experience the joy of seeing others respond to God—perhaps for the very first time!
What will the worship service look like?
We orient our Spirit-led service around the Christian Scriptures, with a spaciousness that allows us to respond to God as he speaks with us. Together we engage ancient and modern practices, which will include the option to participate in communion every service. We also share original music and liturgy that we write for our neighborhood, as well as classic hymns and historic prayers that have been giving people around the world hope and meaning for centuries.
Community meal
We follow every monthly service with community meal, where people can continue to connect around the table. Even though we’re grateful for the way tech improves our lives, we also know it can’t replace in-person interactions. There’s nothing like being with friends in real life. So after each service, we’ll have the opportunity to get to know new people, and also get to experience being known. Together, we’ll create a safe space—whether you’re an extrovert or introvert, whether you want to go deep or are more comfortable listening than speaking, you are welcome here!
Of course, behind the scenes and beforehand, there will be people serving the community who want to help prepare and set up meals, greet people as they come in, run slides and sound, sing and play instruments, and more. If that’s you, let us know—a church service is a reflection of a church body, and takes many committed folks to make it possible!

Sunday Service Project - Food Pantry Glow Up
We have an awesome weekend opportunity to serve one of our favorite local non-profit community partners from 4:15-6:15pm, followed by a meal. So come one and come all for a quick but helpful service project!
Details
West Valley Community Services wants to unite the community to fight hunger and homelessness, and they envision a community where every person has food on the table and a roof over their head. Clients shop the food pantry during the week, so the weekend is the best time to give it a deep clean!
We will be sweeping, wiping, scrubbing, vacuuming, and mopping: floors, shelves, fridges, freezers, carts, milk crates, and more. If we can clean it and make it shine, we will!
Drop us a line if you’re planning on coming so we can right-size the project for our group size: hello@wvneighborhoodchurch.org.
What to expect:
Soft socializing: meeting new people and/or getting to know them better while you serve alongside each other
Feeling a sense of satisfaction as you contribute to a significant local non-profit making a difference in people’s lives
A chance to stay for a meal afterward with other people who are serving alongside you
How to prepare:
Wear clothes you don't mind possibly getting grubby
Bring layers in case you get cold easily and/or volunteer to clean out any of the freezers/refrigerator sections
Latex gloves are provided, but if you have your own favorite pair of work gloves, bring those. Sometimes people like to wear a mask too—we use food-safe disinfectant spray, but it can be nice to not stick your face in what you just spritzed! Mask and gloves are both optional though.
Bring a water bottle
We will meet at WVCS, located at 10104 Vista Dr, Cupertino, CA 95014
Park on the street—parking is free, but you might want to give yourself a couple extra minutes to walk from the car
More about WVCS:
West Valley Community Services, Inc. is a community-based non-profit agency, founded in 1973. West Valley Community Services serves low-income and unhoused individuals and families in the West Valley communities of Cupertino, Saratoga, West San Jose, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, and the surrounding mountain regions.

Working for Good - “Calling” | Neighborhood Worship Gathering & Community Meal
We’re continuing our summer sermon & discussion series, Working for Good. This week’s service will look at the surprisingly relatable life of Moses (missteps and all) from the Bible as we consider calling and our life’s work.
Guest preacher Rev. Rachel Taylor will trace for us how God used Moses’ life experiences to develop him, revealing his desires and passions through different seasons of life. We’ll look at how through it all, God remained present with Moses, whether that be through missteps in his youth, prolonged seasons of waiting, deep wrestling with identity and belonging, and struggling to re-engage when the moment of action was upon him. We’ll consider how God led Moses along the path he had planned for him, how Moses was invited into attentive participation, and what that all means for us in the twists and turns of our own lives and careers.
This month’s neighborhood worship service will be followed by our usual community meal, and we’re featuring our favorite local food truck from Zaida’s Kitchen! Coming to the service and staying for the meal is a great way to meet new people, connect with God, and either deepen or explore faith.

Saturday Serve - Food Pantry Service Project for West Valley Community Services
We have an awesome weekend opportunity to serve one of our favorite local non-profit community partners from 10am-12pm. So come one and come all for a quick but helpful service project. A side benefit? This type of project creates low-key opportunities for soft socializing (meeting new people and getting to know each other while we roll up our sleeves and work with our hands). What could be better on a Saturday morning than connecting with others and meeting a real need in the local community?
Drop us a line at hello@wvneighborhoodchurch.org if you’re planning on coming so this local community org can right-size the project for our group size.

Coworking at The Neighborhood
More than just being a place to get work done, the Neighborhood is about the people you can meet and the friends you can make when you show up to the same place together week after week, with the intention of getting to know others. We’re open from 1-5pm most Fridays, and we’d love for you to come by!
More about The Neighborhood: Cupertino’s Coworking Collective
We love the flexibility of working from home, but we know how isolating and lonely that can be.
Come join a welcoming indoor/outdoor co-working space that has a relaxed coffee shop vibe but with more of a community feel, a place where you’re known and can greet each other by name. Think of this as a space where you can come and focus on work, but also have as a launch pad to make new friends that you can get to know after work too.
And by the way, the Neighborhood is one of the ways we serve, love, and get to know our neighbors, so it’s free. Free is pretty rare around these parts, so we thought you might want to know!
We have AC, WiFi, snacks, seltzers, and charging ports a plenty, and will brew you a fresh pot of coffee if you feel like getting caffeinated. All free—because we believe community is worth investing in!
So why work from home when you can work from here?
Open Air Open Mic
We bring together a supportive community of those who love music, the spoken word, clean(!) comedy, and creative arts. In warmer weather, we’re outside in the courtyard.
This is a time when imperfect people can come together and encourage one another to step out and share something new, to be vulnerable enough to be ourselves, to take a risk, and discover we are appreciated just as we are. Whether you have something you want to share or if you want to cheer on others who do, we want you here!
Read on for what to expect if you’re coming to support a performer, and below that, what to expect if you’re performing.
The headline is: let's have fun meeting new people and supporting the local creative arts scene. Please keep in mind that this is designed to be a safe space for people, whatever background we are from or whatever beliefs we have. If you have questions about content, let us know. We're happy to help.
I'm coming to cheer on the performers! What do I need to know?
The "coverage charge" is to bring some canned goods for West Valley Community Services. Check out what they need the most
Feel free to bring your own snacks or NA beverages, but we’ll have seltzers and ice cream to share too!
I'm coming to perform! What do I need to know?
Slots are 5-10 minutes, depending on how many performers we have. Time slot includes your set-up time
Sign up with this form ahead of time to get a slot, or come at 6:45pm the night-of! (Sorry! We can’t guarantee people who come later will get a slot)
Bring your instrument (unless you’re playing keys—we’ll provide a house keyboard: a Roland Juno-DS 88)
If you're a vocalist that wants live accompaniment, head over here and let us know what song you want to do. The more notice you give us, the better chances are we can accompany you live. Tracks are okay too, but live is fun, right?
We’ll have two mics, a 1/4 inch connection for your instrument, and two music stands
Keep it family-friendly! If PG-10 were a rating, that’s what we’d be going for

Can't wait to see (and hear!) you there!
