Edges: a community for questions and discovery
Redefining church community. Join us Sundays at 10:30am.
Jesus didn’t spend his time with perfect people, and neither do we. We don’t pretend we have it all figured out or shy away from the hard questions.
That’s why our faith community is named “Edges.” It’s a place for all of us - believers, seekers, doubters, and skeptics alike - to explore what matters most.
Bring your questions, your dreams, and your wildest hopes about God. It’s all welcome here. Questions are encouraged and spiritual truth is found together.
Our collaborative, community-oriented model of worship invites the Holy Spirit to speak through each of us. Welcome to Edges!
Thresholds sermon series
Physical thresholds serve as portals, walking through a doorway for example or leaving one room and entering the next. Our lives are filled with these sort of entrance and exit moments, especially in this season - leaving summer and entering fall, starting a new school or work year, or maybe some of us are facing new life patterns in this season.
Some of these changes are by our own design, some not. From August 30th through October 4th, we’ll explore this theme of thresholds, the sacred liminal space of in between, wondering what the scriptures might have to offer when it comes to being faithful and present to change, to entrances, to exits, to new beginnings, and the space between.
Confirmation for youth
Confirmation will be offered this school year to any youth 6th-12th grade who hasn't already been confirmed.
All interested in joining let Christina know by September 16th!
