Why church?

We’ve all asked that question...and there’s no easy answer. It’s hard to trust any community with something as important and personal as your relationship with God, especially when you know it is made up of flawed and complicated people! 

But at the center of the Christian religion is a God with an unstoppable desire to foster meaningful relationships between Himself and His people, between the people themselves, and between His people and the world He created. Which means that we aren’t intended to live life or wrestle with faith alone.

At Revolution, we believe that our church needs to be a witness to God’s bottomless love and an example of what it means to wrestle and grow with our faith together. Following Jesus isn’t easy! But even in our doubts, if we take the things we are struggling to believe and put them into practice together, we learn to ask better questions and live in ways that are more beneficial for others. This is part of the miracle of the Jesus story: God loves his creation so much that he steps in to answer their doubts, call them into grace-filled relationships, and walk with them towards becoming instruments of his healing and justice in our world. He is a God of communion. So, we want to be people of that communion, too.
