Who We Are
Every church has its own unique identity. If you are thinking about visiting Holmes Road, there are a few things you might want to know about us:
We are flawed
We don’t pretend that our lives are perfect or that we have everything figured out. We struggle with temptation, with sickness, with anger, with addictions, and with everything else that goes with being human. So if you’re coming for a visit, relax, we know you aren’t perfect either.
We are wildly diverse
At Holmes Road, we are all over the board racially, economically, educationally, and politically. Some of us grew up in the city, some in the country. We also have some that come from stable family backgrounds, and from rough backgrounds. You might think that a diverse group of people like us don’t have much in common. However, we do have one thing…
We are all God’s children
The grace of God covers our flaws and the love of Jesus transcends our diversity. We try to pass that grace and love to everyone. The apostle John once wrote, “Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” That is what binds us together. We serve a perfect God and look forward to a perfect kingdom in heaven. Until then, we are doing what we can to practice those things on earth.
