The creative challenge for progressive churches is finding the balance
between being Christ focused and universally inclusive. If a
progressive church focus is on Christ (in theology and practice), it 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
concepts. We believe 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. Some come from other traditions while others come with a more general identity, wanting to explore their spirituality.
Northbrae offers a spiritual comfort-zone free from judgment or pressure and open to spiritual formation. You can explore the gifts of many traditions for deepening your own understanding and practice of Christianity.
As a congregation, we seek to contribute our part towards enabling inner peace and greater compassion for humanity and all creation.
