Transitioning the Church's Identity

The church is undergoing a significant transition in its identity and mission, having distanced itself from its previous denomination in favor of a more inclusive approach. This shift arose from disagreements over crucial issues such as women in leadership and LGBTQ inclusion, prompting the church to seek partnerships with like-minded ministries rather than pursuing a traditional hierarchical structure. A focus on collaboration and shared values is prioritized, particularly through discussions about joining the Jesus Collective, which echoes their commitment to a flat model of governance where all churches work together in a spirit of cooperation. The church aims to articulate its guiding principles and commitments that align with those of the Jesus Collective to provide a clear roadmap for its future direction and community engagement.
