Who we are

Love Jesus.  Love others.

This has been the core teaching at 3rdplace since the very beginning. As profoundly simple as this statement is its depth and complexity is just as profound. And as we walk this road we discover more and more what exactly this statement means and implies.

What it means to worship and love Jesus, what it means to love and disciple one another and what it means to love those who do not yet know Jesus.

We continually circle this statement turning it about in our hands like a jewel, discovering new facets, colours and reflections. It is in this spirit that we bring out these ‘editions’. Each edition is an addition to our understanding and a continuation of our growth on this voyage. It contains what we have learned from one another and from the new friends we have made. We try to hold our knowledge and experience loosely, keeping it liquid so that we can always discover more.

This edition sees the addition of the four friends image, over the last few years the image of friendship as salvation has guided our community.

We have become the friends of God again.

We were born into a new family of friends.

Welcome, 3rdplace, to the 4th edition.
