Religious Institutions - Parma, Ohio, United States
Our Vision & Mission is to Cure Loneliness. To be creators of community, sharing life together. People need people more now than ever!Porch Culture is working at being a Missional Church plant. We seek to rethink and redefine the nature of the church and create a new paradigm in which churches are seen as missional in nature, instead of attractional in nature. Instead of churches attempting to attract people through church programs, churches should instead take the gospel outside of the church and engage society with the gospel, often by being involved not only in missions and evangelism but in the everyday things. We define ourselves in terms of its mission — being sent ones who take the gospel to and incarnate the gospel within a specific cultural context. We currently have a split identity in these beginning phases. Renew Communities is a church in Berea, OH that is very similar to what we aspire to in approach and philosophies. We are part of their larger Worship Gathering that meets on Sunday mornings. Currently we continue to grow in our Missional Community in Parma, OH. It is our desire to see this Missional Community reproduce many times throughout the area to then gather in a larger context for a Sunday service that we would call our Worship Gathering here in Parma, OH. We want to be people who gather as a response to our Missional Communities on mission. Being the church, not just attending it.
