:: What is the Water's Edge?
 

It's like skinny dipping on a hot summer day.

It's like home, without the bickering and griping.

It's like your favorite underwear, the old worn-out ones that fit just right.

Welcome to our site.

The reality is there are lots of us out there.  (You're not as weird as you might think.)  It's just that we're complicated. 

We're people who are into God, interested in his purpose, fascinated by his creation, thankful for his love, and looking for his guidance.   

But just as often, we are confused by God's apparent silence, frustrated by injustice, floundering without direction and deep down we're lonely.  

We're not perfect - that's certain.  And we want to believe that we matter to God - that is also certain.

In the midst of that struggle we have not found church to be helpful.  There are as many reasons for that as there are people in this boat.  But there's something new happening that gives me hope. 

In Ringgold, Georgia, people are being invited to come as they are.  Really, we're not just using that as a catchy phrase.  We want you to come connect to God in a very unique worship gathering; to come hang with folks in small group settings of all sorts; to come help people by serving them during monthly projects of different kinds.   

In your crummy jeans and t-shirt, with your imperfections and addictions, carrying your broken relationships on your tired shoulders, come and find a safe place to explore a dangerous reality... 

God loves you - you do really matter to him - just as you are, quirks and screw-ups and scars, He loves you.  And even better, He loves you too much to leave you in such a mess. 

So we'll gather to unpack what a life can look like when it's really wrapped up in God's forgiveness.  To think about what our community would feel like if we really lived the way Jesus lived.  To explore the nature of love, truth, meaning and purpose. 

We'll do that with every day language, in our local context, for our community - it will be beautiful and messy. 

God will dig it.
