Experience a non-dogmatic and non-judgmental church service open to interfaith and skeptical perspectives. We reject literal interpretations of scripture and approach the Bible in context: authors, audiences, purposes, and goals, hoping to find new insight and value.

Lectio Divina, or Divine Reading, is a spiritual practice of scriptural reading that was developed in Christian monasteries in the middle ages, but that goes back to the early Church in late antiquity. This time, the scripture reading today comes Isaiah 49:1-7, a passage known as “The Servant’s Mission.”
