JUST CHURCH
<p><strong>About JustChurch</strong></p><p>JustChurch is a weekly, Saturday evening, downtown worshiping community in the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids corridor. JustChurch is “just” in two ways:</p><ul><li><br><ul><li>Just a worshipping community</li><li>Participates in acts of JUSTice that flow from worship</li></ul></li></ul><p>JustChurch is intentionally focused on worship steeped in ancient Christian tradition expressed in new, simple ways, without building ownership, standing committees, etc. JustChurch is a refuge to those who seek to express faith for good in a community of inclusion and who feel left out of current institutional religion. Since JustChurch wants money to do the most good it can do, it strives to be an 80/20 worshipping community (dedicating 80% of its income for maximal impact on justice while using 20% to cover intentionally low operating costs).</p> 2019-08-24 18:00:00 -0500
