The Phoenix Project

Participating in what God is doing in the world... Celebrating the gifts we've been given... Recognizing the needs of our community... Responding with our whole selves... Empowering others to do the same...

What is the Phoenix Project?

The Phoenix Project is a new church for people who are interested in exploring and deepening their faith through the beliefs, rituals, and practices of Christianity. We encourage artistic expression and creative response to the Gospel through art and activism, worship and prayer, celebration and conversation.

We are an open and welcoming community seeking to live intentionally as Christians while meeting others where they are; supporting and challenging each other as we discern the ways in which we are called to participate in God's vision for peace, justice, wholeness and celebration.

Opportunity for Local Artists. . .

The Phoenix Project is committed to supporting local artists and promoting art as a spiritual experience. We believe that the original act of creation (however it is understood) continues in human artistic expression and we would like to provide opportunities for art of all kinds to grow and thrive.

Created Creators Display

Do you experience the Holy through Art?

Is creating your art a Spiritual Experience?

Would you like to share your art with others who feel the same way?

If so, please contact the Phoenix Project about the opportunity to display your art in our windows. We will also provide an opportunity for you to lead a discussion group about your art and its connection to the divine.
