3rdplace?

A third place is a place that everyone has in their lives. It is a place that is neither your home nor your office. It is a place where you like to hang out, relax and maybe learn. It is a space where you can connect with others and maybe make some new friends. 3rdplace is the conduit and the community forms inside it.

Spaces or times where we learn together, seek Jesus together and learn to disciple one another. It is where we are inspired, breathing in the Spirit, so we can then incarnate, take on flesh and blood, the life of Jesus deep within this world.

Our 3rdplaces, StorySpace & EPIC, are spaces where we seek to inspire the church to love Jesus and love others.

3rdplace is not a church.

It is a catalyst for the church.
It serves the church.
It is where the church expresses itself.
It is a space where the church gathers.

The church is found wherever lovers of Jesus are found. In homes, coffee shops, offices, airports, night clubs and hospitals. One thing the church also does is gather regularly.

We gather together to remind ourselves that there is a center to the universe and it is not us. We gather to celebrate the resurrected life. We gather to worship. We gather to learn. We gather to encourage one another towards love and mission. We gather to hear stories of what God is up to so we can join him in what he is already doing

3rdplaces are open gathering spaces, inclusive spaces where all are welcome no matter how weird, smelly or strange. Jesus included us and so we include anyone and everyone.
