So… church, eh? 
We get it. Walking into a spiritual space with a bunch of strangers can be overwhelming and super awkward. You’re likely wondering if we’re weird and if your kids will be safe and probably a million other anxiety-inducing questions. That is totally fair.
First off, Grassroots isn’t weird and we absolutely prioritize your kids’ safety, ensuring all volunteers are vetted and have vulnerable sector checks. We invite you to keep exploring and/or connect with our pastor.

Pastor's Blog and News and Such
Kickin’ at the Darkness ’til it Bleeds Daylight
Let me say off the top: I am hesitant to get political, recognizing, particularly in this role as pastor, how politics so often leads to division. As such, I will never tell you how to vote and I firmly believe church and state should remain separate. That said, as a pastor, I cannot ignore how the political landscape of the US is affecting the mental and spiritual well-being of our own community—let alone those directly impacted by these policies. Over the past two weeks, many of you have shared your unease with me, and I sense a growing heaviness. Every headline seems to bring fresh reasons for concern, uncertainty, and even despair. To simply turn away from it all because “pastors shouldn’t do politics” would be an abdication of the call to engage with the world as it is.
