An environment of Christians who ignore denominations, who erase the lines between secular and religious realms, who insist "God is God, truth is truth and they're everywhere, so you have to look everywhere".

But more than that, we are people searching for a higher meaning or calling. People with diverse backgrounds, some of us are hurting, busy, isolated, lost or alone. Some of us are extroverts, some introverts; some of us are from churched backgrounds, and some of us from no religious background at all. Some of us are skeptics, some cynics, some mystics and a few of us optimists. --One thing we share in common is our desire for spirituality. We have heard many in our generation say that Church (and God gets lumped in with church) is boring and irrelevant. This is extremely unfortunate, because we have found God to be completely the opposite.

We desire to help create an environment that fosters spirituality without some of the trappings that so often turn us off. We desire to be a group where authentic biblical community is lived out and not just talked about. Where believers experience the kind of relationship with GOD and others that are the biblical norm. We long to experience deep committed friendships where its safe to be open about a place to experience His presence, and to talk about relevant life applicable topics from the current reality of our lives.

Also as Christians we would like to apologize and say WE'RE SORRY for being hypocritical, self-righteous, greedy, ignorant, judgmental bastards...... the crusades, gay bashers, the religious right, Pat Robertson & Kirk Cameron, million dollar mega churches, Ted haggard, tract cards, cheesy t-shirts & bumper stickers, harry potter book burnings, and any other way the Church has burned you. Please forgive us...
