This week at GracePointe we continued our GracePointe 201 series by talking about God. One of our convictions at GracePointe is that "God is a Mystery to be explored, not a doctrine to be espoused." What does that mean, practically? Join us at we explore that question and more!
Read MoreSeveral years ago our Founding Pastor, Stan Mitchell, led us through a conversation called “GracePointe 101” that explored our growing understanding of the Bible, God, Jesus, and Church. Beginning this weekend we will build on that work and continue the conversation. because our understanding of the faith journey is that it is always unfinished, unfolding, and in-progress.
This week we began with the Bible. What is the Bible? Does it still matter for us today? How can we approach it with both reverence and reason? Listen in as Josh leads us in that conversation!
The weekend Founding Pastor Stan Mitchell lead us to think about how we might begin to dream about and reimagine an important facet of Christian spirituality—the afterlife—through the lens of Progressive Christianity. If you are wrestling with questions about the afterlife, this is a must listen!

Read MoreOur next installment of our summer series, “Grab Bag,” draws our attention to a series of “blessings” Jesus pronounces in the Gospel of Matthew. Known as “The Beatitudes,” these blessings are announced to people in unlikely situations - we don’t often feel blessed when mourning, hungry, or persecuted, for example. What is Jesus doing with these blessings? What do they teach us about Jesus’s vision for the world? Josh explores this and more in this week's message!
