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.
