Love Jesus?
but not religion?
For us, being the church is doing
life with Jesus, together. Knowing him has changed our
lives in ways the Christian religion never could. We’ve found new
freedom, new meaning for our lives, real joy, and lasting hope.
Because of these experiences, we want to share his love with others
by serving the community, and by helping one another become the men
and women we were created by God to be. Church is who we are. It
is not a place we go. It is not an event we attend. It’s our
identity as followers of Jesus.
What does Jesus Tribe look like?
We’re very relational and that’s
our emphasis. We have a group that meets at Satori Coffee House on
Monday nights for an open discussion of Scripture. We offer
the
Alpha Course for anyone who wants to explore Christian
beliefs. We do a monthly
downtown outreach in conjunction
with the LoDa ArtWalk. We go on
Prayer Walks, praying for
the people of our city. We encourage folks to be in
Life
Transformation Groups. We look for opportunities to start new
groups (a.k.a. “Simple Churches”). We get together for
Community Worship. And we work and serve to see
RV Taylor
(a public housing project) radically transformed by the power of
God’s radical love.
How is Jesus Tribe different?
We try to keep it simple. The New
Testament churches changed the world, yet they had no “professional”
pastors, no buildings, no property, and no real programs. They met
in one another’s homes and public places, where they ate together,
prayed together, shared together, and supported one another. As
they expressed selfless love, societies were transformed. Our goal
is to follow their example. We don’t have any full time staff,
we’re committed to never buying property or having buildings of our
own, and we generally avoid programs. We want to keep our focus
(and finances) on others.
