join us at 521 gluckstadt rd.
We are conveniently located to serve both Gluckstadt and Madison, MS, although we have people join us from all over the Jackson Metro area.
Our Sunday services are at 9:15 and 10:45AM.
Sundays
We gather every Sunday at 9:15 AM and 10:45 AM in a theater-style environment with modern worship, biblical teaching, and a casual vibe. Services last about an hour.
Grab a hot cup of coffee in the lobby, and if you have any questions, look for someone in a yellow lanyard—they’re part of our Guest Team and happy to help.
Wear what you want and come as you are.
Whether you’re exploring faith or looking for a church to call home, we’re glad you’re here.
Got Kids?
Vertical Kids is available during both Sunday services for birth through 5th grade. Kids enjoy a fun, age-appropriate experience rooted in God’s Word. We keep class sizes small and staff every room with trained, background-checked volunteers.
“We exist to move people into an encounter with God.”
We want every person to encounter God through His Word, live empowered by His Spirit, and show His love to the world.
What Makes Us Different?
The Church is not a modern invention—it’s an ancient movement that began in the book of Acts, birthed through the power of the Holy Spirit to carry the message of Jesus to the world. We stand on that foundation. We didn’t invent the Church, and we don’t intend to reinvent it.
But while the mission is timeless, we do believe the culture God is forming here at Vertical is uniquely ours.
We’re a church that’s real. Honest. Open-handed. We embrace people’s stories—even the messy ones—because we’ve seen how God meets people in their brokenness and leads them into freedom.
We’re not trying to impress—we’re trying to invite. To invite people out of isolation, out of hiding, and into something deeper: a relationship with Jesus and authentic connection with others.
Most people are worn out from pretending. Here, you don’t have to. There’s room for questions, room for healing, and room for you.
You don’t have to have it all together. You just have to be willing to show up.
“A Vertical we talk about our transformation loop. it’s a journey we all walk together.”
