Come as you are. There is no dress code. Our gathering takes place in a space that is comfortable and relaxed. We will pray together, sing together, read scripture together, reflect together.
After beginning worship all together our children are invited to continue worship in Godly Play with our children’s ministry team. Godly Play is a hands on Montessori-style worship experience where our youngest disciples are immersed in the stories of the bible. Our nursery is also available for children ages 0-2.
We have found that spirituality is more of a journey. We go, because God goes with us.
We feel called to include across all borders and divisions. We have experienced the welcome of grace and believe that it is for everyone.
We see God’s love around us and are exploring what it means to become relentless practitioners of love.
We’re reading this old letter to the church from James. It’s a letter for a people scattered and displaced. It’s for exiles, misfits, and the poor. It’s filled with wisdom, with comfort, with challenge. It’s about shaping our hearts and lives with “the spirit that he has made to dwell in us.”
We think spiritual growth happens best when you are journeying along with others in authentic and thoughtful relationship. Groups meet in homes, coffee shops, and the church.
We believe God is in the process of healing the world and that we are invited to participate in this work. We do this through our service together.
We are part of a large community that is the First United Methodist Church of Escondido. We have a traditional service as well as a Spanish Language service plus a new and inclusive worship gathering in North County, SD.
