Missio Dei Uptown

We desire for Missio Dei Uptown to be a community that redefines the image of church in our context. After Jesus rose from the dead, He left a community of believers where God’s power was constantly on display. These people loved their neighbors radically and shared their lives with one another. They told of their struggles and failures openly, served one another, gave freely, and lived courageously. People from all over came together to worship Jesus and offer the world a vision of life so beautiful that many would leave everything to follow Jesus. We too believe that Jesus is life. Jesus offers a life of grace, forgiveness, freedom, joy, and community that we hope define our church. We are a church where everyone is welcome and where the good news of Jesus is transforming our lives. This belief leads us to the broken places, engaging people with this new life and boldly proclaiming the love of Jesus that stands above everything else.

At this point in the winter, most of us start to feel the longing for rebirth. Outside our windows, we see the cold and snowy days stretching out before us, with gray skies and bare trees. Winter is lovely, but after a bit, we long for signs of spring. It’s a fitting image for this season in the Church calendar which we call “Lent.” Lent is a period of time for preparation and reflection leading up to Resurrection Sunday. This winter season, where we cannot fast forward to spring flowers, mirrors our position in the life of the Church. Resurrection Sunday is a joyful celebration of the resurrection life that we get to experience through the astounding work of God through Jesus Christ. Yes, we long for that celebration and the hope and renewal that it represents! But we cannot fast forward lest we miss the beautiful, formative work that happens in the anticipatory preparation through this season of Lent. Our series “Longing for Rebirth” will follow a pathway similar to the process of baptism rebirth, mimicking the death and rebirth we experience as followers of Jesus, and his own death and resurrection. We acknowledge our need for Christ, we confess our shortcomings, we turn back to God, we submerge into symbolic death and we are raised into new life.

Resurrection life.
