Does the church sometimes seem shallow, mindless and judgmental?
What would a church look like that was real, thoughtful and caring?
Think the church is often superficial, manipulative and hypocritical?
Unfortunately we know the church is often more characterized by these than caring for others as modeled by Jesus or thoughtful engagement with the complex questions of life.

We are trusting God to build a community that continually rejects the kind of simplistic judgmentalism that often passes for Christianity. Instead we want to be a thoughtful, genuine, caring community that views people as intrinsically valuable in-and-of-themselves, not simply as a means to some other end. In other words, we're trusting God to make us into real followers of Christ.

We hope the most evident characteristic permeating our church culture is that the gospel of grace enables people to unmask and be real with one another in the struggles of life. In keeping with the Reformed tradition’s insistence upon self-criticism and self-awareness, we will self-consciously cultivate a culture characterized by…
