Welcome!

We know that the word 'church' may not spark a lot of good 'Disney-like' feelings in you. In fact you may even consider it judgemental, irrelevant, boring and hypocritical. And believe it or not, we have to agree with you.  Of course not all churches are like that. Far from it.  But the sad truth is that many are.

We know too that Exilio is far from perfect. We don't pretend we have it all figured out and we regularly screw up. Yet, in spite of our failures we’ve discovered the liberating acceptance of Jesus who says His grace is made perfect in our weakness.

So what is Exilio?

Well, for a start we’re serious about embracing this ideal of reconciliation as it deals with God and humankind. Because these issues matter so much to God, we are committed to addressing issues of injustice on a local and global level as well as partnering with the poor and helping the world hear their voice. In fact we feel it is our responsibility to be part of a renaissance of community transformation among the under resourced. Moreover, the arts and beauty are important to us. Diversity is not just about being politically correct. To us it’s about reflecting the very heart of God.

While you may not be ready to get involved right away, there are a variety of exciting possibilities at Exilio for you to meet people just like yourself and see if it's for you. Our culture is not about strong-arming you into a connection with God but about honest conversations concerning our relationship with Jesus, our community with one another, and our responsibility to humbly serve the misfits of our world.
