WELCOME HOME.

WHO WE ARE.

BYO started on pastor calvin’s deck when he decided to share his testimony with his friends. BYO grew from that deck, to his garage, to a full worship center of people impacted each week. BYO stands for “BRING YOUR OWN" because we believe each of us brings our own hurts, habits, personality, passions, talents, and regrets. BYO’s mission is to Connect with love, impact with service, and restore through Christ. We believe that mission is accomplished through all inclusive love. we do not give up on people because Jesus did not give up on us. If you’d like to experience love like you’ve never felt before, byo is for you!

It’s OK TO ASK QUESTIONS.

  • We believe everyone is recovering from something, whether that’s a physical addiction, your past, or your present. At BYO you will find a judgement free, exclusion free group of Jesus people here. all of us have had our struggles. We teach honesty and transparency in everything we do, because we know the truth sets us free. We do not exclude because Jesus Christ did not exclude any of us!

  • We are a non-denominational christian church. We believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God. We believe that God sent his son to redeem us from our sin and he accomplished this by dying on the cross. Each of us has fallen short of the glory of god and we’re made blameless through a relationship with Jesus Christ. We practice immersion baptism and believe that the Holy Spirit becomes part of who we are when we accept Christ.

  • BYO is for those who have never felt like they had a home or a purpose. We believe that through all inclusive love you will feel the presence of god, and in a relationship with Him your entire life will be transformed. If you’ve been disappointed by church before, you will find people here who walk what they talk, and all of us will admit we’re not perfect.

  • BYO doesn’t believe in the Church sitting back waiting for people to come. We are mission minded and we believe in taking the church to people. We are involved in many local missions like Washington street mission, inner city mission, food pantries, inpatient recovery centers, and many more. Jesus taught us to go and make disciples and we do it! We call it doing the two (loving god and loving people)!
