Wild Church

In this time of ecological collapse and mass extinction we feel called to create beloved community re-connected with the soil, water, plants, and all creatures of our Casco Bay watershed in the greater region of Portland, Maine. 

• We are connected to the Wild Church Network of congregations seeking to encounter God in the wilderness, a place of spiritual transformation and new vision. We are inspired by the Watershed Discipleship movement of church communities learning to love their place, as defined by their watershed.

• We are rooted in the Anabaptist tradition of following Jesus in daily life, with connections to Mennonite Church USA. We are open to all who are looking for a deeper relationship with God, community, and creation from any faith tradition or no faith tradition, or full of questions and doubt. 

• We are committed to the internal and external work of undoing racism, sexism, homophobia, and other forms of violence that harm our bodies and grieve the Spirit.

• We believe that ancient faith practices like Sabbath rest, Eucharist, Scripture reflection and prayer, offering healing and renewal for our weary bodies and world.

• We usually meet outdoors monthly on the second Sunday of each month at 3:30pm  with a BYO picnic dinner afterwards. In the winter months we will get creative and may meet indoors when needed. 

• Kids are welcome! We don't have childcare, but invite their participation and play throughout our time together. During our time of wandering we have an activity and storytime for children. 

• We are an evolving experiment in being church in a renewed way, and invite your ideas, creativity, and contributions!
