ThePARISH

We are a faith community of the Anabaptist Persuasion. We celebrate diversity not conformity. We believe that the Message of faith is good news.

We began around a shared table wondering if following Jesus could not only change our lives but help make a better world. We gather on Sunday mornings to be reminded of that. We are very diverse, but share a common belief that God’s love for us desires to produce love in us. We are not a Bible church we are a Jesus church, that doesn't mean that we don't consider the Bible important, it just means

that for us the red letters of Jesus trump the black letters. The Parishioners are everyone and anyone that desires to be all God made them to be. At the Parish, we believe that all of us are telling God’s story of redemption through our lives. We gather every week because sometimes we need to be reminded of that. And some gather with us virtually by listening to our podcast and tracking with our desire to inspire a more hope filled life giving faith.

undivided | Aaron Holbrough
Have you ever felt that your life is spread too thin, with so many things competing for your attention, and loyalty. That shallow life is robbing us of not just seeing ourselves more clearly, but in seeing God more easily. Spirituality has always insisted that the sacred is found in the depths, not merely at the surface.

eat and breathe justice | Aaron Holbrough

What if we could find satisfaction in working towards justice, not just in the experience of justice, It would mean planting trees of whose fruit we might never get a chance to eat.

choosing to be meek | Jan Hux

When Jesus pronounces blessing on those who are meek he isn't addressing those who are weak and ineffectual but rather those who may have power and privilege but choose to hold them in reserve.

the constellation of grief | Aaron Holbrough
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted... both troubles and intrigues me, if this is a promise, it doesn’t seem to work the way we think promises work.

when empty is full (poor in spirit ) | Jan Hux

Jesus isn’t looking for religious rule-keepers with their noses deep in their bibles, he is looking for followers. Followers who know they aren’t good at it yet, so know they need to stick close and watch what Jesus does.

Not the end of the story | Jan Hux

Death, burial and resurrection - it is a story that captivates us; it is theology that grounds us and it is metaphor that shapes our lives.
