Can you
Relate to:
"Churchianity"?
Have you ever found yourself in a local
church worship service trying to connect with God, or perhaps trying
to relate to the people around you? Have you ever had this thought
keep running through your mind; "I just can’t relate to what is
going on here." You might be surprised to discover that there are a
lot of people just like you. They may have a different way of
describing it. "This is boring" or "I don’t get anything out of
this" or "I can’t understand what they are talking about". You might
even be surprised to know that about half of the people, who say
they are Christians in Sonoma County, don’t go to any church at all.
You might even be one of them.
Jesus Is
Appealing
Maybe you have
read the bible and Jesus appeals to you. What he had to say and the
way he lived really makes sense. In fact, perhaps you’d like to
experience that kind of life. Then comes the big, "BUT". The
way you have experienced church and the life of Jesus just don’t add
up. In fact, you may have wondered how some of those people could
call themselves Christians, and act the way they do' religious on
Sunday, but very different the rest of the time. Maybe that just
isn’t your idea of what a Christian should be.................
You are not alone.
There Is Another Way
Maybe your
experience with Christianity has mostly been about someone telling
you how you should behave, or what you should believe and why their
point of view is right, or "more right than you". All the time you
have been thinking that being a Christian is more about the way you
live, loving your neighbor, having compassion for those in need,
etc. You might be surprised to know that Jesus, himself addressed
this very issue when he told the religious leaders of his time, "Woe
to you Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites. For you are like
whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but on the
inside they are full of dead mans bones and all uncleanness".
A Relevant Faith
Maybe what you
are looking for is an authentic community of people who are trying
to follow God, through His Son Jesus Christ. People who want to
learn from the past, but also be a part of a relevant faith
community today, who realize they don’t have it all together... who
are more focused on asking questions, than giving answers. If this
is you, you are not only not alone, but whether you know it or not,
you are desiring to be a true follower of Jesus Christ. If you are looking for a better way, a
more organic faith, a true expression of Christ, please contact us.
We are committed to helping people connect with healthy communities.
An Authentic Community
MOSAIC
Healdsburg is a new church located in Healdsburg, California. It
is our desire to be an authentic expression of Jesus Christ in the
real world. Many of you who are reading this may have been to
churches that have been marred by additions to the faith. You know
what I mean. Additional rules and formulas for growth that make the
church look more like IBM than an actual expression of God. That's
NOT what we are all about.
Ask yourself a question. Have you
ever felt like there was more to life than what you are doing
today? Do you have a sense that there is a greater purpose for your
existence? If so, we want to meet you.
We believe that
every person on this planet has a purpose and not only that..... We
want to help you find that purpose. We are on a journey, you are as
well. Let's discover the God of the Universe together.
