Resources
We are exploring fresh expressions of a Jesus-shaped life. We tell stories, craft liturgies, write songs, and listen to diverse voices. Aware of the spiritual trauma many carry, we offer these resources humbly, not as truth with a capital “T”, but as reflections of our own journeys.

Sermons
We follow the liturgical calendar–Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent, Easter, Eastertide, Pentecost, Ordinary Time, and within Ordinary Time, the Season of Creation. As we make this annual journey, the scriptures and themes interface with what is unfolding both within our community and the world around us. Invariably, the Spirit shows up. Our sermon series, blogs, and home grown liturgies are designed around these seasons yet are also infused with the presence of a God who faithfully feeds us and loves us.
Curiosity, wondering, questions, and storytelling are vehicles for our growth. We find our way, together.

Into the Wild
What was it like for Jesus to be baptized? What was it like to feel the cool water close over his head and return back into the sunshine? What feelings moved through his body as he heard the words “This is my beloved Son” spoken over him. It is hard to imagine that...
Stop, Look, Listen
This past Sunday, we marked the end of 2025 by stepping into each other’s stories. It felt risky to have an open mic with no backup plan, but the fruit of that risk was hearing your stories of how Love drew near this year. If you weren’t there on Sunday, pause...
