We are building a garden in the middle of a parking lot.
A church being planted in the rhythm of the ancient Way — gathered around Word, Table, and one another. Inspired by Psalm 27.
The shape of life we are learning together.
Seek His Face
We gather to behold the One who is beautiful — through word, sacrament, song, and silence. Worship is not a warm-up. It is the whole point.
Form Disciples
We are being made into the kind of people who can carry the love of Christ — slowly, sacramentally, in covenant with one another.
Extend His Kingdom
We tend a garden in the middle of a parking lot — small, faithful work that makes room for resurrection in our neighborhoods.
Des Moines, Iowa. A city like any other — and a city like no other.

The smaller rooms where we become.
Chapters are covenantal communities of six to ten — modeled on the class meetings John Wesley left behind. They meet weekly, eat together, pray together, and tell the truth about their lives.
Cam & Sarah's Chapter
The founding Chapter of 1927. A weekly table of friends learning what it means to live in step with the Spirit. Open to new members through the summer.
A second Chapter
More Chapters will open as 1927 grows. We will not scale faster than we can pastor.
One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
