Mission
To inspire innovative faith practice and the exchange of ideas among Christians in Cascadia.

Vision
A renewed and expanded presence of Christ followers in Cascadia, discovering purpose and identity in diverse, contextualized communities, reflecting the values, culture, and dreams of their localities, discerning and engaging the deep needs of their people, and dwelling in right relationship with their ecologies.

We aspire to

• Renewed, reinvented, thriving Christian communities in Cascadia
• A diversity of alternative Christian community models that make space for all
• Models of faith life praxis that give hope and inspiration to the nation and the world

Our purpose is to

• Cultivate conversation, mutual learning
• Promote a diversity of voices, with special attention to those that tend to be marginalized
• Affirm generative, impactful experiments, and derive principles for adaptation to other contexts
• Build sense of regional/cultural community, among diverse communities and cultures
• Showcase to the broader world examples of innovation and reimagination

We highlight innovative praxis in four key areas of faith life, including

• Community Development
• Creation Care
• Social Justice
• Spiritual Practice

We believe that

• Christian faith praxis finds fullest expression when it is shaped according to a particular people, place, and time
• The North American church is in a crisis of relevance, and must reform and reinvent itself in response to generational and cultural diversity
• Cascadia offers new models and innovative designs for the broader church that offer hope and challenge the status quo
