Welcome

If you’ve come here with questions, misgivings, or more fatigue than faith, you’re not out of place. Many of the words on this site were written for people who have tried to take Christianity seriously and found that the versions they were offered felt thin, anxious, arrogant, or relentlessly moralizing. This is not a space devoted to defending religion or smoothing over its failures. It is a place for honest speech about God, Scripture, and the weight of being human.

​

You won’t find spiritual techniques or promises of progress here. What you will find are essays and studies shaped by the conviction that grace does its work precisely where our certainty runs out. You might begin with the Weekly Article or the Fault Lines Friday feature. These engage faith and culture without slogans. 

​

If you’re looking for a study of Scripture, the Zoom classes offer a slower, shared way forward. No one is expected to speak or participate beyond listening and reflecting—those are more than enough. You’re free to linger, question, or leave, and Pastor Mark is always available with an open ear if questions arise. Nothing here depends on your enthusiasm.

​

If there is a word to leave you with, it is simply this: you are welcome to be here as you are. Not as a project to be improved, not as a problem to be solved, but as a person already known by God. You may stay quietly, listen carefully, or return another time. The door remains open.
