Welcome to the Coffee Creek Church Podcast! In today’s episode, Pastor Clark Frailey kicks things off National Back to Church Sunday with an uplifting and honest message about what it really means to belong to a church community. Whether you’re joining the party in person or tuning in online, Pastor Clark acknowledges that taking those first steps into a church—especially if you’re feeling nervous, awkward, or like an outsider—is totally normal.

This week, Pastor Clark dives deep into why “life is better together,” exploring biblical insights from Ecclesiastes and Hebrews on the importance of community and encouraging one another. You’ll learn practical ways to find spiritual rest, discover genuine connection, and take your next step toward real transformation—starting by simply showing up and spending time together.

Pastor Clark’s three-part challenge is to help you create new habits, find purpose, and experience the full benefits of being part of a church family. Whether you’re craving deeper meaning, searching for rest, or just hoping for a place to belong, this episode will inspire you that you’re not alone—and that together is where real transformation begins.
