Come as you are. There is no dress code. Our gathering takes place in a space that is comfortable and relax. We will pray together, sing together, read scripture together, reflect together.
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.
Pastor-theologian Eugene Peterson says that the end of the life of faith is “the living everything we know about God.” Too often faith takes the shape of limits and borders, it comes to us in the negative. Or, faith is something that we keep on the shelf to be used only as necessary at points of crisis and struggle. What if there’s more? What if our lives were actually lived from a deep and intimate knowledge of the living God who takes shape among and between us as grace and love and hope? This is what we’re exploring together in our current series.
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 helaing 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.
