WHO WE ARE

HomeStar Fellowship is a small group of spiritual seekers who find our hope in following Jesus Christ.

We’re experimenting - Most of us have been longtime church members, and continue to have great respect for the traditional church – but we’ve also wondered if there might be other ways of “doing church” that are more appealing, especially to those who have no interest in sitting in the pew. Admittedly, we’re feeling our way along, looking for others to help us along the way.

We take personal involvement seriously - While we have a part-time pastor (Rev. Jan Cartledge), we encourage all members to take leadership in areas of special interest and ministry, as well as in worship leadership.

We like questions – Many people are drawn to God by a desire to find answers, and they seek churches (or pastors) that offer firm answers to their questions. Other people are more likely to be drawn to God by questions.

At HomeStar, we honor those questions. We don’t claim to have a corner on the truth. While we believe God has revealed many eternal truths in the Bible, we don’t assume that the Bible has a black-and-white answer for every issue that faces us. Our membership includes several people who have theological training and considerable ministry experience, but none of us claim to have all the answers.

We’re on a journey – We believe our faith is not a goal to attain or a prize to possess, but a pilgrimage through life. None of us has “arrived,” but we like the idea of traveling together on a journey of faith, encouraging each other as we go.
