New to smoky row?
We’re people from all sorts of seasons in life, doing our best to live up to our motto:
“…becoming more like Jesus all the time…”
What is Jesus like?
Being in very nature God, Jesus did not demand power and glory but emptied himself to take the place of a servant - even humbling himself to the point of death on a Roman execution stake. But he didn't stay dead! Three days later he rose again, showing that death had been defeated through perfect love.
Because we are captivated by Jesus, we strive to look like him and obey his teachings. We love others the same way Jesus loved us - freely.
We’re a small group, but growing, and big enough to get done what God’s asking of us right now—whether that’s caring for ourselves through spiritual formation and sharing life together, or serving others through the efforts of the Sawmill Interfaith Community Care group and the Smoky Row Food Pantry, or simply being a gathering place for local groups and neighbors.
We’re also taking seriously the vision of what worship will be like on the other side of Jesus’ return, when “all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues” worship God together. One way we do this is by bringing together both Spanish and English speakers into our larger Smoky Row community. We want to overcome the things that divide us as people, and strive to live up to the great truth “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
