We want to hear from you

We Want To Hear From You!

Yes, you.. And her.. And him.. And them. . . . . . . . EVERYONE!! Every Sunday in November – Nov 3, 10, 17, 24 | 11:45am – 1:15pm | (with snacks!)  So that you can give this very important discussion they needed insights you have, please read on so that you can be fully prepared to participate.

This is a four week discernment process for our congregation to work out the scope of our physical and missional footprint that comes out of our values, mission, needs, and strategic identity into the future. What is the shape of what we need as we live into who we are becoming?

Along the way, we will work through the values and sacred scriptures that have grounded us across time, consider the ways we live into our call right now in our physical space, and listen to stories that will help us envision what it might look like to live into our call in the future. Then we will work with our Developers (NHA and Dream Developers) to play with napkin sketches of what all of that could look like in terms of our physical footprint.

Rev. Brett Pinder has been appointed by the bishop to be the Community Partnership and Engagement Strategist for the Oregon Idaho Conference. He will be joining us to help facilitate the process, along with our leaders.
