​“For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.”
-- Matt. 18:20, NRSV
​​We often wonder: What does it mean to be a church in this time of social change and fragmentation? How do we cope with technology that robs us of our time and attention? How do we meet the most critical needs of people in our communities, especially the needs for social and spiritual connection?
We particularly want to reach people who are lonely, isolated and long for connection – people who need friends, seek a deeper spiritual life or simply need a good belly laugh or a hug.
​​
We are in the process of changing how we think of church, do church, reimagine church. We would love to have you join us on this journey of growth and change.
One way is to get involved with our book study groups, social circles, hospitality and care teams. Or you may want to connect with us through our social events.
Reimagining Faith
A Book Series
John Wesley once said: "Reading Christians are growing Christians. When Christians cease to read, they cease to grow." We wholeheartedly agree.
We encourage you to visit our Reimagining Faith book study series – a place where you can ask tough questions, explore your beliefs and find your way to wholeness through group discussions, study and prayer.
Books recently studied: Universal Christ, by Richard Rohr; The Heart of Christianity: Rediscovering a Life of Faith, by Marcus Borg; Hope and Other Superpowers, by John Pavlovitz; Reading the Bible Again for the First Time, by Marcus Borg.
