Why subscribe to Uncommon Christian Community?

  • In a country made up of Red States and Blue States, you are looking for a Purple Church.

  • You believe that Jesus welcomed all people with unconditional love and unlimited grace.

  • You have a sense that the healthiest Christian communities are solid at the center (devoted to God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit), while also being soft at the edges (willing to work with people of different faiths — or no faith — to make the world a better place).

  • You know that it is common for churches to be made up of like-minded individuals, representing one race, economic class, or political orientation. You know the value of diversity, and aspire to be part of an uncommon Christian community.

  • You are looking for a newsletter that shares the best practices in Christian hospitality.

  • Subscribe to get full access to the newsletter. Never miss an update.
