Authentic community is marked by open and honest communication about difficult issues. Accordingly, Imago Dei is committed to creating platforms by which its people may share varying ideas and perspectives in a search for wisdom, while remaining united both in reverence to Christ and in a desire to treat Scripture with utmost integrity.
Forums at Imago Dei help Christ’s people pursue wisdom through multi-voiced conversation and transparent pastoral explanations of how the church's current Biblical doctrines intersect with those conversations. Forums also mature the church by inviting individuals to submit immediate personal opinion to the prayerful, relational process by which God’s community can discern together how to continue moving forward in diverse unity.

March 26th 2011: What are we about with those closest to us?
Movement towards others doesn’t just happen outside our four walls; it also happens in the spaces we live. What are we about in our relationships? What are we about with those who are nearest and dearest to us, or near and perhaps not so dear?
Ongoing Forums
Imago Dei MenThroughout life we face many questions regarding what it means to be a man. Imago Dei men meet Thursday mornings, making a concerted effort to know who we are, what we do as men, and why we do it. We meet in a format of teaching, discussion and connection.
Doctrine matters. What a person believes shapes who he or she becomes. At the same time, discerning doctrinal truth—that is, knowing God’s loving will for humanity in all matters of life—is a communal matter. It requires marshalling the knowledge, wisdom, and input of the entire community so that those God has called as leaders can understand specifically how best to connect Scriptural application with peoples’ lives.
