Livable Church
The Livable Church cannot be defined by gatherings in a building. It is not even grasped by measuring its “missional” purpose. It can only become visible by the way followers of Christ within a local area relate together and relate to others in their daily lives. There is only one mission – our relational and responsible love in the context we live.
1) Each day we partner in our jobs, our play, our civic life ... well, all of life for God’s kingdom to become more evident in our local community.
2) Each day the community gets to experience what the church looks like, how we relate, without ever having to enter a building for a “service.”
3) Each day we are able to share from our gifts, strengths, and passions to help each other when we’re in need.
4) Each day we become more intertwined with other people who have redemptive hopes for the place we live. The idea of “The Church of Downtown Tacoma” as one united body is getting closer.
5) Each day we are strengthened and encouraged to live in faithful love even though we inhabit the darkest places. We draw strength from seeing that we are connected to others who are counting on us to build a trusting reputation collectively. We also know they may join us in that place at any moment to call out our deepest desire to live in love.
