QUESTIONS ANSWERED:

WHAT IS THE STORY? 

You will gain clarity about the larger story of God and see how it enables us to make sense of our lives and give tremendous meaning to how we live it.

WHAT AM I CALLED TO?

Discover afresh that calling is first about the Who that calls us. Then, in astonished reverence we are invited to steward what we have been given to seek to the common good.

HOW DO I BECOME WHO I NEED TO BE?

Implement effective discipleship practices that forms our hearts and minds for authentic, powerful and joyful participation in God's mission.

The dynamic, life-giving work and message of Jesus has been obscured from people who seek to find meaning and purpose in life. This has resulted in further marginalization of the church, challenging our intention to be a redemptive presence in our city and world. As apprentices of Jesus, we help people and churches become who they were created to be. In doing so, we join God to help our city and world flourish and become all that it can be.

As an artist and and a creative person in the church space, I find it wildly refreshing to gain perspective from other church workers and entrepreneurs who have invested interest in Kingdom work happening around them. So much momentum happens when we begin to share language with each other, and I’m grateful for a space that facilitates that kind of connection.
