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.

High on Coincidence; Higher on Conviction
Rhonda and I have an ongoing thing in which we rate coincidences that come up in our lives on a scale from 1-10. 1 is basically a “huh, that’s cool” but could happen any day. A 10, though, happens exceptionally rarely. I think to date, maybe once in our 21+ years together we could point to what was such a bizarre coincidence that words fell short and we were convinced there had to be more going on beneath the surface. This past Monday morning we didn’t experience a 10, per se, but certainly a story worth sharing.
