Our Services

What are services like?
We transcend the choices of being either a traditional liturgical service or a Hillsong 1990s "contemporary" service. Our Worship Gatherings are rooted in ancient traditions and yet are relevant and authentic to our cultural context.

What is the community like?
We are a home-made worshiping community. We are a family of lots of families — traditional/nuclear and untraditional.

What if I'm not a Christian?
All of us are on unique spiritual journey's. We gather not to find the "right answer" or "right doctrine," but to journey with one another. We doubt. We question. We engage the mysteries of faith. We love. We experience grace and that's enough.
