Word.
We gather weekly around the preaching of scripture. Expository. Unhurried. Serious and joyful.
A Parish in the City · Est. MMXIV
A church for the long haul.
A People. A Place. A Purpose.
Fig. 01 — Sunday morning, sanctuary.
§ 01 · Who We Are
We are an unapologetically committed community following Jesus in the here and now. No hype. No veneer. Just scripture, sacrament, and the ordinary means of grace.
We are ordinary people trying to live as Christians in an extraordinary time. Our work is slow. Our witness is local. Our hope is ancient.
§ 02 · Four Commitments
02
Table.
Communion is celebrated every Sunday. A shared meal, a shared table, a shared hope.
03
Liturgy.
Ancient prayers, creeds, and songs anchor our worship. We inherit from the church across time.
04
City.
We are sent to our neighborhoods. To love the city. To stay for the long haul.
