Welcome To Friends Church

We know that not everyone fits traditional church.

Hell, most of us don’t fit traditional church. But most of us also want spirituality in our lives.

Friends Church exists to inspire our community to a healthy spirituality that Takes Water to their world.

When we look through the world, I can see Protector Parts running much of the show, and I don’t know about you but it seems we are further from the world I want than ever. The Protector Parts keep telling us:

  • there’s no nuance here, its black and white!

  • everything is going to “hell in a handbasket”, be alert!

  • don’t worry about getting the facts, your feelings are all that matter!

  • I don’t care about the good in that situation, the bad disqualifies it!

These are the Voices of our Protector Parts trying to keep us safe, but there is a cost for their short sighted focus. They don’t care about the long-term health of us and our world, they only care about us not getting hurt right now.

In the last series we learned about looking at life through the metaphor of Parts. Through that metaphor we can see there are some Protector Parts that are focused only on helping us avoid specific emotions and experiences from our past. These Parts don’t seem to pay attention to all that their actions impact, what we called the cost of Hijack.

This series is going to teach you to Recognize the Protector Parts in you and in the world around you. And its going to show you how you might heal yourself, and the world around you with that awareness.

Join us in working towards greater health inside of us, and in the world around us, as we explore this spiritual journey towards a Healthy Spirituality.

Series Runs April 27th - June 1st.

What if the G.O.A.T. – the Greatest of All Time – wasn’t just a title for sports legends, but for someone who walked the earth 2,000 years ago?

We’re talking about Jesus. Not the stained-glass version. Not the theology textbook version. But Jesus the human — the man who laughed, wept, doubted, and loved deeply.

In this series, we take a fresh, no-strings-attached look at the real life of Jesus through a human lens. We’re setting aside the religious filters to ask one simple, powerful question: What can his life teach us about living ours well?

Think of it as diving into the true story behind one of history’s most iconic figures — and maybe discovering that his life has more to do with yours than you ever imagined.

Join us starting June 8, the year of our lord 2025, to start seeing a different side of Jesus, and a different side of us.

Series Runs June 8th - June 29th
