Terraforma Church

We want to be a church known for love, not in word alone but matched with action. This is why we scatter and serve, this is why we extend unlimited welcome. We think the church should reflect the character of God to the world through self-giving love.

We want to be a church with an open hand, ready to receive the grace of God and ready to extend it to bless others. We worship and serve a God of gracious, generous, abundant provision. Ours is the God of more than enough, better than we deserve, and beyond what we could hope for. When we live a story of generosity, it is in response to His grace.

Every organization has a culture, established in a partnership between leadership and the people of the organization. We are looking together at our ethos this October, to renew our vision and talk about the kind of church we are building together. This week we talk about the goal of building a healthy church.

Our culture increasingly trends toward individualism, isolation, and a loss of trust in authority figures and institutions. As a result, people are allowing their smartphones to serve as counselors, entertainers, instructors, and mentors. How can we cultivate meaningful relationships that those described in scripture? We need to work together to build a multi-generational, multi-tribal, and multi-dimensional community.

What price are we willing to pay for the constant entertainment, limitless options, and the flow of endless information that we enjoy in the digital age? Could hyper-connectivity be costing us our freedom and peace? This morning, we seek focus and peace in the presence of Jesus.

Constant connection through smartphones has given us instant access to all kinds of ideas about what to believe and how to live. How can we empower our kids to sort through this mess, identify truth, and embrace wisdom? Today we explore the practice of cultural discernment.

The pandemic accelerated our use of technology in our workplaces to communicate globally at scale - but the results were not all positive. True growth and purpose require more than a screen and an internet link. What is our next step in re-capturing our designed ‘Connection’

Consumerism is more than the accumulation of more, it is the belief that our consumption will in some way answer our deepest needs and solve our problems. It is a worldview that puts our twisted relationship with more, new, now, and better at the center of our lives. How can we push back against this empty ideology?

Jesus concludes the greatest sermon ever preached with a warning: these teachings aren't just to be admired, they are to be obeyed. This morning we explore the shift from fans to followers, from students to apprentices.

"Do not judge." This has to be one of the most quoted AND most misunderstood things Jesus ever said. What are we to do with this command? Followers of Jesus should be known by our love FOR others instead of being known for what we are AGAINST!
