We’ve been told to Love God with our hearts, souls, and minds. At DOWNTOWN CHURCH we work hard to stretch our oftentimes stubborn minds in our exploration of God and one another.

We’ve found that books, both biblical and not, are great places to start. We read books, drink coffee, talk, and listen. Guided by the wisdom of others we watch and see the ways the Holy Spirit shows up and walks alongside us in our own rocky paths of transformation.
