Faith Formation
At Pine Street Church we embrace wholeheartedly that we are to love God with our hearts and minds. Our study groups often reach beyond what we already know. We look deeper into the standard, traditional notions about the nature of God, the purpose of creation, what it means to have faith, and how we study sacred texts. We embrace faith, but we aren’t afraid to raise difficult questions, express our doubts, set aside long-tenured notions of understanding and take up totally new ones. For that reason, our studies are not offered to bolster any particular worldview, but to help us to discover together truth that fosters community, hope, forgiveness and meaningful purpose. We value our rich diversity of belief and conviction.
