Who We Are

Our Mission, Vision and Shared Practices

Threads' Mission

Weaving an inclusive tapestry

of beloved community,

following the way of Jesus

for the healing of all creation.

Threads' Vision

Our vision is that Threads would be…

…a beloved community of true belonging,

empowered by Christ's love,

each person joyfully sharing their unique

gifts with a groaning world.

Led by the Spirit, we seek to participate

in God's redemptive work,

cultivating hope and healing

for all creation.

Shared Practices

Story-Formed Community

receive & inhabit

We seek to be shaped by God's voice as we receive it through the story of Scripture, the story of creation (all we learn of God in the observable world), and each other's stories in the context of community.

Presence

attend & honor

We seek to recognize God's presence in, with, and for each other.

We seek to respond to God by creating space for authentic and empathetic relationships, both within and outside the church. We seek to be attentive to the presence, voice, and work of the Holy Spirit.

Abundance

trust & rest

We practice generous and joyful living from of a position of abundance through our fully redeemed and freely forgiven identity in Christ.

Formation

abide & accompany

Together, we endeavor to walk in the footsteps of Jesus, humbly nurturing love and wisdom in the manner of Christ, while supporting and uplifting one another on this faith journey.

Neighboring

notice & act

We are committed to openness, welcome, and humble service, endeavoring to actively clear the path to Jesus for those the church has often neglected, marginalized, and rejected.
