Pull up a chair.
Throughout history, porches have served as a meeting place. A place where introductions are made, stories told, laughter is heard, relationships are deepened. People have gotten busier, less connected, more divided and our porches sit empty, unused.
Jesus created porches wherever he went.… meals with strangers, the sick healed, sinners forgiven, a hungry crowd fed. Porches are all around- in our neighborhood, at work or school, on the golf course, at a coffee shop, on the sidelines of a sports game. Let’s build new porches where we… learn stories…and share our story. Pull up a chair….join us on the porch!

Join the conversation.
We want to create a culture at Damascus Road where we intentionally share our lives with others who may be exploring faith in our neighborhoods, workplaces, family or friend groups.
What better way to learn about community and connection than to experience it for yourself?
We've created an online community where you can share your stories, ask questions, and pray for others as we grow together to become more like Jesus.
So, here's your invitation to join the Living on the Porch forum:
