Our Church-insideout church

My husband and I moved to Fort Collins in June of 2009 to plant a church here among the college age and young adults.  Nate has always wanted to be a church planter and chose North America when he was in Seminary.  When we got married I was a little hesitant about the role as a Church Planter Wife, but could see how God had been preparing me as I was serving in the local church to be in a position of leadership.  The calling quickly became clear for me as well and I became very excited to be a part of this new adventure.  


Our church is called insideout church and we have yet to meet.  We do not have a building or a meeting time but we are working and watching God at work in mighty ways.  We are in the process of building relationships with those people who are interested in God here in Fort Collins.  We meet with people one on one or in small groups of friends.  We meet with people at coffee shops, restaurants, parks, our apartment, our clubhouse, softball fields, basketball courts, hiking, hunting, fishing, ice fishing, sight seeing and any other place where the opportunity arises.  Unlike many people we do not believe that being abrasive, forceful or confrontational is productive.  We prefer to build relationships and gently share Christ through love and compassion and hopefully help heal hurts and misconceptions about Christianity.


We are in the process of planning our first big group-Explore Group.  This group will be a group of people who want to explore Christianity.  We are going to have a meal, watch a video on who Jesus was and other similar topics and then open it up for table discussion.  The people at the tables are welcome to express their opinions and beliefs regardless of what they are and even if they don't agree with the video.  We hope to share the truth with them and help them get past their barriers so they can hear the truth and judge Christianity fairly and without past hurts and misconceptions.  We are so excited to see what God is going to do and how he is going to use this even to reach those around us.
