Mosaic’s wager: If Christian scripture leads its readers towards an understanding that God aligns with, cares for, and is amongst the marginalized and the oppressed… then would not an active voice of God, if such a voice utters words, perhaps be found in their midst?
Haunted by this question and in a direct divergence from the prevailing social norms, our faith community began by asking subsquent questions: What would it look like to listen to those voices not often heard? What would it mean to place those who are marginalized by society as central to the church? What would it look like to give them room to speak?
Therefore: Our mission at Mosaic is to be a compassionate Christian community of inclusive diversity where everyone knows they belong and has opportunity to serve. Our wider vision is to give a voice to the voiceless, one the church needs to hear. We want to contribute to the transformation of people and how they think about diversity, equality, justice and service.
Who are we, to aspire to this goal? Just a small, rag-tag group of people seeking to be honest about our brokenness and addictions, our hopes and fears, our faith and doubts. We believe that when we come together in an authentic and vulnerable way, the vulnerable Jesus - man of sorrows and the light of the world - meets us as he truly is.
Mosaic would like to acknowledge the traditional territories of the Four Nations in the Greater Vancouver Area: Musqueam Nation, Squamish Nation, Tsawwassen Nation and the Tsleil-Waututh Nation.
To be a compassionate Christian community of inclusive diversity where everyone knows they belong and has opportunity to serve.
To become a voice the church knows it needs, leading a groundswell that changes how people think about diversity, equality, transformation, justice and service.
Mosaic is committed to:
