To “Reconcile” is to make-right, and “Reconciler” is a name for Jesus, who makes people right with each other and with God. So when we call ourselves “Church of the Reconciler,” we’re not saying that we are so good at reconciling, but that we are following Jesus, the Reconciler of all people and situations.
Church of the Reconciler celebrates communion every Sunday. With the diversity of life experiences in our congregation, the consistent return to communion reminds us that Jesus hangs out at tables…
I’ve received this gift of encountering Jesus through serving at Church of the Reconciler. Sometimes I hear Jesus speak through a joyful expression spoken in the midst of unimaginably difficult circumstances or a prayer that’s shaped by the sort of faith that moves mountains. I’ve seen Jesus through hands raised in worship, surrendered fully to God and smiling because, despite everything, hope persists. I’ve witnessed Jesus through listening to the hard won wisdom of my brothers and sisters facing homelessness or poverty. I’ve met Jesus through shared meals, laughter, and tears.
