Our Call

We are an evangelical, Christian church that believes that the road to the future runs through the past. And that’s part of what “Ancient-Future” means: Our worship and spirituality are deeply rooted in classic Christianity– and we’re convinced that the faith and practice of the ancient Church will engage our culture more effectively and provide a way forward in a time of almost unbelievable transition and change. We want you to know that we’re not really a traditional church, or a contemporary church, as most folks define them. We think of ourselves as a pre-denominational church. 

 We are evangelical, meaning that we love Jesus, and believe the Bible, and we want others to know about God’s wonderful story and their place in it. We also consider ourselves orthodox, in that we hold to the true, historic, “Christian faith which has been believed everywhere, always, and by all.”
