A Boutique Congregation | July 26 | 10 AM (CST)
Our mission is to use our resources—both tangible and intangible—to minimize human suffering and enhance human well-being. This is godliness to us..
We live out this mission by faithfully stewarding the Six Holy Currencies—relationships, time/place, gracious leadership, truth, wellness, and money—engaging in a continual cycle of blessings through listening, learning, relating, and sharing so that our collective resources may bring healing, justice, and flourishing to others.
The “Jesus Before Christianity” series addresses the crucial need for clarity about what it truly means to follow Jesus Christ, beyond the label “Christian.”
“Jesus also said: The kingdom of heaven is like what happens when a woman mixes a little yeast into three big batches of flour. Finally, all the dough rises.”
- Listening: Attending to God, one another, and our neighborhoods.
- Discerning: Discovering where the Holy Spirit is inviting us to join with God in our actions.
- Testing: Engaging, simple actions to join God in the life of our members and community.
- Reflecting: Gathering to ask, what did we do? What are we learning? Where did we see God at work?
- Deciding: What are the new ways we will join in with God in the lives of others?
1. Celebration strengthens identity. We remember that our uniqueness is our calling. Celebration helps us say: We are exactly who God formed us to be.
2. Celebration builds courage for the next season. Our handcrafted past gives confidence to take the next intentional step.
3. Celebration honors God’s craftsmanship. We are not celebrating ourselves; we are celebrating God who has shaped us, sustained us, and curated us.
4. We have resisted cultural Christianity. Celebration matters because it honors the courage it takes to be faithful when culture pushes you toward sameness.
5. We created safe spaces long before naming it. People find refuge here. You made room for difference and cultivated environments where people could breathe.
