Welcome to Shift GNV Church
Post-evangelical collective
We are a church within the PEC (Post-Evangelical Collective). This is a group of churches, across the globe, that have been cast aside by the larger evangelical church. While we hold to many of the same tenets of faith, the expression of that faith has driven us outside our Christian homes. To learn more about the PEC please click this LINK . Below are the shared values of all PEC churches and the values we gather around at Shift.
the way of jesus
We are committed to being rooted in and formed by the incarnation, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Like the very first Christians who were called “followers of The Way,” we seek to model our lives and ministries after the work of Jesus.
Full inclusion
We believe that every person is made in the image of God and are committed to having no restrictions in membership, leadership, sacrament, or anything else based on sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation.
holistic justice
We believe the way of Jesus should lead to both spiritual and social freedom for all people. Holistic justice is the pursuit of liberation in our selves, church communities, cities, and the world.
deep and wide formation
We value digging deeply into Scripture while learning widely from various traditions, interpretations, and practices.
gracious posture
We strive to lead with grace in every circumstance, especially within disagreement or conflict.
Shift with us
Treehouse Kidz
Treehouse Kidz is a fun, age appropriate environment for our kids to explore all things related to faith. We are more Mr. Rogers than Disneyland.
All of our workers are trained and background checked. You can click the link below and register your kid/s before you come.
Small Groups
Shift small groups come in a variety of ways. We have mid week in person and zoom group, a games group and a First Magnitude group. The whole purpose for our groups is build friendship outside a Sunday program.
You can register here: Small Group Registration
Generosity
We believe that giving should be done out of generosity and not guilt. That looks different for everyone. If what we do brings value, then we encourage you to engage with us. By clicking the link below, you help us impact Gainesville in ways we couldn't alone.
