The Parish Network model envisions one urban church community consisting of several neighborhood parish communities that network together for the common good and renewal of the city. Parish is an ancient term that resonates deeply with us. We call our faith communities parishes because we desire them to be deeply rooted, faithfully present and Spirit led people who are committed to living on mission in a specific neighborhood. In other words, the name parish implies that we are accepting spiritual responsibility for our neighborhoods by seeking to join God in His renewal of the communities in which we live, work and worship in.
