A COMMUNITY OF HOPE
A PLACE OF POSSIBILITY
A CHANCE TO BELONG
WHO WE ARE
We see ourselves as a group of people who are asking questions about life, God and what it all means.
Some of us have been burned by church and are trying to heal.
Some of us have grown up in church and are looking for that same mystery that captured us as children.
Some of us are confused by it all and need a place to be honest and ask questions.
Some of us need a community of folks and believe we've found it here.
Regardless of who you are or where you come from, you're welcome here.
LEADERSHIP
At the story, we don't have paid staff or elected leaders, or really much that is official.
That being said, anyone is welcome to initiate or lead any sort of community gathering.
However, there are three folks who spend time each week planning meetings, dreaming about the future of the story, and doing their best to create opportunities for authenic community:

cofounder of CoolPeopleCare,

while he first thought it was a great place to find answers, he really
loved it when he discovered it was a great place to ask questions.Lynnette
