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.
Spiritual nomad?
If you feel like a spiritual nomad and that you just don’t fit in with the larger church landscape of Thunder Bay, and yet aren’t ready to give up on Christian community and want to be a part of reimagining what church could look like in our current moment – welcome. This space is for you.

You won’t be disappointed. I’m not sure if the below excerpt comes from some previously published work or if these are just thoughts off the top of her head but they were shared on her story and I was so captivated by them that I typed them out for you to read as well:
