We welcome you to the Porch!
The Porch—neither outside nor inside—is the in-between bridge spanning the rigor of college and the joys of relaxation.
We live in a world of wonders, a world of challenges. We wrestle with our faith as Jacob wrestles with God.
At the Porch, we share a wide variety of beliefs, including political, religious, and life, yet contrast them, as well. We constantly question our different beliefs, wrestling with them within our conversations. Questioning everything, including our faith, is the cornerstone of the Porch.
If you are ready to join us in wrestling your God and your faith, to join the community of familiar, yet different people, to enjoy different perspectives and ranges of diversity, and to live into the fullness of our shared celebration of the risen Christ, with all humility, vulnerability, dignity, and authenticity, this may be the place for you.
