UPDATE TO OUR VISION STORY...
___________________________
On April 16th we signed the papers on the sale of our founding property at 11744 W Reno in Yukon. It served as home base for us since the mid 1980’s thanks to the foresight and sacrifice of many. As our story unfolds, we officially began meeting at the Family Church building at 701 N Cemetery Rd, in Yukon, for a season of transition on April 19th. We're incredibly thankful for their openness to our using their space. If you want to stop in and get a feel for who we are and how the transition is going, we meet at 2.30p Sunday afternoons. The next big step…securing the next location to bring the dream to reality. Pray with us as we seek the right location and the blessing of those who currently own it, for the good of our community’s families.
OUR VISION STORY...
By 2030 we will create a Tiny Home Community in Yukon for families experiencing homelessness (Mt 25.35). By offering ourselves in this level of friendship we’ll provide safety and vital wrap-around resources to help families build stable futures that experience the “full life” Jesus promises (Jn 10.10).
This vision is bigger than us, but we believe God is calling us to lead—partnering with other churches and community groups to not only meet this need, but in doing so transform the way our community sees Jesus and Jesus followers. In doing this we’ll discover that following Jesus means responding both tangibly and relationally to our neighbor’s needs. As we do, we will become a place where it is inescapable that to be part of CHCN is to respond relationally and tangibly to the needs of our neighbors.
To do so we will move beyond being welcoming people…super kind on the surface, to inviting people…entering into real-life celebrations and burdens, with long-time friends and new neighbors alike. By offering ourselves in this way, we will model how to Walk Well With each other through life’s ups and downs in ways that transform even our current situations by understanding how to see and navigate them in light of the Way of Jesus.
Remembering that moments change everyone, not only will we become friends and much needed support for those in a season of unexpected struggle, but it will also help us resist the pull of individualism to instead daily live out God’s design for deep, difference-making community.
