Vision Statement: Missiongathering is a Progressive, Inclusive, and Anti-Racist Christian Church. Our vision is to be a space for healing, authentic relationships, and service to our local community. Our approach to faith and spirituality is less about doctrine or dogma, and more about living life fully and abundantly, which we believe to be impeccably modeled in the way of Christ. What we mean by Progressive: We embrace an open-handed approach to Christian theology. We interpret scripture through the lens of Christ-like love, empathy, and our continually evolving understanding of the world. Our community is a safe and welcoming space for wherever you might be in your spiritual journey, including those who are going through a deconstruction or faith shift. What we mean by Inclusive: We practice the inclusion and empowerment of all who have been historically excluded and disempowered in church communities, including women, people of color, persons with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ persons. Rather than simply "welcoming" to these individuals, we fully affirm and celebrate their identities, allowing full membership and leadership. Missiongathering Bellevue is a part of the Disciples of Christ, who historically practice an "open table", where all are welcomed and invited to participate in the sacrament of communion, regardless of their background or spiritual beliefs. What we mean by Anti-Racist: We resonate with Angela Davis' statement: "In a racist society, it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist". We strive to be a multicultural community that is a resource for racial justice and racial healing.All rights reserved スピリチュアリティ

  • New Wine For New Skins: God In Process
    2025/11/12

    What if God isn't a distant, unmoved statue—but Love in motion with us? In "God in Process," Pastor Andrew draws on scripture and process theology to picture a God who feels, responds, persuades, and co-creates—never coercing, always luring creation toward wholeness. We explore how this changes prayer (from wish list to partnership), suffering (God with, not causing), and ethics (our choices genuinely shape the future). If you've longed for a faith big enough for science, trauma, and real life, this episode offers a living God who grows relationship with us—moment by moment, possibility by possibility.

  • New Wine For New Skins Embracing The Future
    2025/11/12

    The future isn't something that happens to us—it's something we practice. In "Embracing the Future," Pastor Andrew names our very real fears (change, loss, uncertainty) and then charts a hopeful, Jesus-shaped path forward: becoming good ancestors, stewarding our buildings and budgets like blessings, and organizing church life around repair, inclusion, and joy. This episode blends scripture, movement wisdom, and Missiongathering's next-ten-years vision into clear, doable steps—discernment rhythms, courageous conversations, and experiments in mutual aid and shared leadership. If you're tired of maintenance-mode religion, come catch a glimpse of what's possible when we trust that Love is already waiting for us on the other side of yes.

  • New Wine For New Skins Interdependence
    2025/11/12

    You were never meant to do this alone. In "Interdependence," Pastor Andrew traces a thread from the Body of Christ to ubuntu, disability justice, and ecosystems—showing how God's design is mutual care, not heroic self-sufficiency. We name the myths that isolate us (bootstraps, perfectionism, toxic charity) and practice a better way: consent and boundaries, asking for help without shame, giving without control, and building networks of care where every gift matters and every wound is tended. If you've been taught that dependence is weakness, come hear the gospel's counter story: love becomes real when it flows between us.
