Welcome to our web site. Here you will find an introduction to Northbrae Community Church, its history, and resources for spiritual growth and new understandings. The creative challenge for progressive churches is finding the balance between being Christ focused and universally inclusive. If a progressive church is Christ focused (in theology and practice), it generally is uncomfortable with being universally inclusive.  If a progressive church is universally inclusive, there is a subtle de-emphasis on Christ. Northbrae attempts to balance both, believing that the underlying message of Jesus is a way of being spiritual, whatever the context or tradition. Most people who come to Northbrae are from a Christian background. Northbrae offers a spiritual comfort-zone where they can explore the gifts of many traditions for deepening their own understanding and practice of Christianity. Some come from other traditions while others come with a more general identity, wanting to explore their spirituality. Northbrae offers a spiritual atmosphere, free from judgment or pressure and open to spiritual formation. As a congregation, we seek to contribute our part towards enabling inner peace and greater compassion for humanity and all creation. |
