The Lenten season invites followers of Jesus into reflection, repentance, and renewal.  In a time when polarization so often shapes our relationships, neighborhoods, and even our churches, Lent offers a sacred opportunity to return to the way of peace.  Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers” (Matt 5:9), calling His people to embody reconciliation in a divided world.

Join us as we host Matthew 5:9 Fellowship (www.mathew59.org) for a special Lenten gathering on Christian peacemaking.  Through a series of interactive workshops, participants will explore how to faithfully engage polarization, transcend toxic division, and cultivate meaningful dialogue with neighbors and fellow believers.  Together we’ll discover what it means to walk the path of peace during this holy season.

Gospel Justice Center

Genesis Church is establishing a Gospel Justice Center to provide affordable legal guidance and counsel for neighbors in need. This is a critical area of need in the lives of so many in our NWA community; one that often goes unmet due to the widespread lack of access to legal support. Starting March 7, 2026, it will be open every first Saturday of the month from 9am to 1pm to offer help and to empower our vulnerable neighbors through access to legal advice and the hope that’s found in the love of God. We are building a robust team that will serve our neighbors in several ways: legally, relationally, spiritually, and otherwise. Everyone has a part to play and we want to invite you to a vision, volunteer interest, and planning gathering on Sunday, November 16th at Hanna Hall from 4-6pm.
