Read MoreThe more that I, and we, live and grow into the fullness of being to which God calls us, the more we belong to God and ourselves. When we belong like that, we’ll find belonging wherever we are.
Read MoreWhen we’re at our best, noticing and appreciating each other’s gifts, and our own gifts too, our community is better for it. Loving the diversity of gifts we have, and the diverse people who have them, makes us one, as God is one.
Read MoreEach of us is a vulnerable, awkward human in need of connection and relationship. When things are good, it’s easy to feel self-sufficient, but that’s not real. We belong in community. There’s no need for us to be alone.
Read MoreJesus uses strong words, but his message is simple: limit the things that make gospel living harder, have holy boundaries, and when it comes to knowing who’s with us or not, “whoever is not against us is for us.”
Read MoreCommunity is one of the best parts of our lives but also one of the hardest parts. Why is that? And if relationships are so hard, why do we keep persevering in them?
Read MoreJesus had a close-knit group of people with whom he shared deeply. What would it be like to be in the inner circle of Jesus? And what does it mean for us today to belong to the In Crowd of the Kingdom of God?

Read MoreLike the Magi, we have each other as travel companions. Community at its best stands together beneath the night sky, gazing at signs from God, and following where they lead. Where shall we go? Let’s discern together.
Read MoreDo you feel like you could use a little more hope these days? Who doesn’t? And who doesn’t want to find ways to build endurance and maybe even maintain a sense of hope when things get hard? Well, there are no easy answers or practices, but there are some things we can do to raise our endurance and also our hope.
Read MoreWhat would it be like to unveil ourselves, to free ourselves from assumptions and suspicions so that we see and love each other as we are? What would it be like to lay down our defenses and create a safe space for everyone?
Read MoreWhen I see care and compassion expressed in my communities, I see how community is not about perfection but about love. I am incomplete on my own; I need to be in relationship to see God manifested. Even though communities are imperfect, God is present in them.

Read MoreI’m working to not let my heart be troubled or afraid, but even if that’s my default, I don’t have to maintain that setting today. I can modify it. And God is always at work in me, rewriting the code that I can’t even decipher and changing my settings from troubled to peace.
Read MoreGod Space is a spiritual community, a space of welcome and belonging. We’re not a church, but some of us go to church, and some are more spiritual than religious. However we identify, we come together to explore faith and build connection through small groups, social events, prayer, and community service. Come and connect at God Space. You belong here.
