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.

Letting Go, We Carry Goodness with Us
In life, there are these holy, human moments of epiphany when the goodness our heart longs for is with us. We are so wrapped in goodness that we know, in our bones, what it means to be the beloved, what it means to worship the Beloved. It is natural that we want these...
Salt and Light
Salt is powerful. It protects life by preserving nourishment. Light is powerful. It expands with warmth and clarity of vision, falling generously on whatever is in its path. As we stand in the flow of divine love, and God’s love flows into us and out of us, we become...
