Hey! I'm Amber Lea! I'm a pastor, creative, and spiritual director and I have a lot more questions than answers. 

I know we just met, but will you go on a journey with me? Just a heads up, I don't have a map or a guide, or a daily itinerary. This is more like one of those old choose your own adventure books. It is a journey of wild grace.

I believe that grace woos us and confronts us and comforts us. It holds our hand, pushes us over the edge, and catches us at the bottom.

Grace is raw. It is real. It is a mystery. Grace is wild, untamed, and surprising. Grace takes us on a journey to find our most true, authentic selves. It allows us to explore our life and faith in ways that set us free. I'd love it if you went with me. Come on, let's wander together in fields of wild grace.

The Community

This is what I keep hearing:

  • I feel disconnected from myself and God.

  • The world is not black and white.

  • I don’t know to build real community.

  • I have so many questions.

TRUTH: I don’t have the answers, but I do want to journey with you as we discover what it looks like to step into our most authentic selves. I want to experience deep relationships and explore how grace is at work in my life. AND… I want to do this with you!

Come on, let’s wander together in fields of wild grace.

This is what we value most:

Growth

till the soil, find the nutrients, face the sun, absorb the light, h2o, pull weeds, cultivate, prune, plant, bloom, flourish, community, pollenate, patience, seasons

Grace

a safe place to fall, a rock that steadies your feet, rich soil to sink your roots into, it goes deep, it goes wide, a warm embrace, tough love, raw truth, unforeseen beauty, a deep breath, a cool glass of water on a hot summer day, seeing clearly for the first time

 Diversity

all people are welcome, we can learn from each other, every voice matters, part of growth is engaging with people and cultures that are different from your own, everyone has a seat at the table

Community

a place where you are fully seen, no judgement, all of you is embraced, you are never alone, support during life’s successes and setbacks, laughter, honest conversation
