There’s a curious tension in the Gospels: everyone around Jesus wants to manage children, but Jesus frequently makes room to be “with them.” Learning to be present with children has great value for all of us. Children teach us to imagine and wonder again. They model a childlike faith, lack of guile and vulnerability that is often a mirror for our "adult" souls.
We believe the best long term thing we can do for our kids’ spiritual health is to include them in the authentic give-and-take relationships of an extended family on mission. Children need to see the adults around them living out an authentic faith. They need to be able to contribute. And they need space to ask their questions without fear and shame.

Everyone has a different temperature for "checking something out." We get that. However, if you feel comfortable reaching out to us, we look forward to hearing from you and meeting you soon. Because we don't meet in a public building regularly, we think a great first step is to grab coffee together.
