into the open country
New rhythms for Christian community
Unattached
We live unattached* and unhindered in the open country. We don't seek to own or possess anything but an eternal prize - a life in harmony with the Spirit of God. We a flexible, not locked-in, and always on the move.
Out of the comfort zone
We like real, we embrace mess, the grass between our toes, decay and new life. We listen, we share, we respond. We live in the open, led by the Spirit, seriously applying God's Word.
A mosaic
We love people. We don't expect them to conform to our image, but together in diversity, we follow the example of Jesus. A mosaic of shattered pieces, equal, colourful, committed. Connected, not closed-off.
open country church
A barely-organised church for wilderness people
We live, gather and worship in the open country. We are quick to go where the Spirit leads. We wander together, responding in love to those we encounter on the way. We organise only enough to let people know what's happening and to function effectively. We resist becoming static and busy for the sake of ourselves. Our eyes are always up and out. We care for each other, not the preservation of a brand or an organisation.
