Love, joy, peace, patience, sensitivity, faithfulness and self-control. To be a person who lives out these qualities sounds nice, doesn’t it?

What would it look like to fully become the person God has designed us to be, to really live out these “fruits” by the power of God’s Spirit at work in us?

Without passion, without aspirations, without dreams, life can feel monotonous and pointless. We long to be a community that is always dreaming, eagerly expecting God to guide our passions and dreams. Over the years, God has given our church community many dreams for what we could become as we pursue becoming a worshipping community of missional theologians for the sake of the world. "I Dream of a Church..." is a teaching series focussed on the dreams and passions of our church: remembering the dreams God has been faithful to fulfill, celebrating the dreams that we are currently living out and dreaming new dreams for the future.
