Augustine, a big-idea guy who lived 1600 years ago, once wrote, “Our hearts are restless until they rest in God.” You don’t need to be ancient—or religious—to know what he meant. Many people today feel constantly unsettled, even when life looks fine from the outside. You can have friends, plans, goals, and freedom, and still feel like you’re always chasing the next thing. Scroll a little more. Do a little better. Become a little happier. Yet the feeling never really goes away. Augustine’s line sticks because it puts words to that quiet frustration so many people carry.
The Bible says this restlessness isn’t a glitch—it’s a clue. It claims that humans were made for more than just staying busy, feeling good, or building a personal brand. Jesus talks about “life to the full,” not meaning nonstop excitement, but a life that actually fits who we are. When we expect things like success, relationships, or experiences to give us total fulfillment, they eventually disappoint—not because they’re bad, but because they weren’t meant to do that job. According to the Bible, real flourishing comes from being connected to God, the source of life itself.
For seekers, this is an invitation, not a lecture. Christianity isn’t saying, “Try harder” or “Get your life together.” It’s saying, “Pay attention to what you’re feeling.” That restless sense that something’s missing might not mean you’re broken—it might mean you’re paying attention. The Bible suggests that peace doesn’t come from finally winning at life, but from finding the place where your heart was meant to land. If that’s true, then restlessness isn’t something to escape—it’s something worth following.
Our mission is to cultivate a level of community that shares the delights and dilemmas of life we all experience. Together we can relearn the joy of conversation, bring back a respectful public square and make lasting connections in a lonely world. Along the way, we'd like to create a non-threatening place to consider the claims of Jesus Christ apart from the clutter of religious culture.
The Bible teaches that God loves all of creation, and through Jesus Christ we are brought into fellowship with him. We are a family, proclaiming the love and grace of God, as found in God's word. All are welcome at Converge--those who believe as well as those who are seeking.
As we play, work and worship together we find that our faith grows and we enjoy friends old and new. Come and see!
You may never mine a novel from the keyboard of your computer, but you most definitely are writing a story. It’s the story of you. It’s being written, not into the pages of a book, but into the eternal record of heaven by your activities, your words, your choices, and even your thoughts and silent prayers. It may not be a best-seller in New York, but God never misses the release of a new chapter.
The “Now, What’s Your Story?” Project will guide you through core competencies of the Christian life by way of thought-provoking, fictional conversations. You may find yourself thinking: “I’ve always wanted to ask that,” or “hmm, I never thought of that.” Either way, the goal is to make you more aware of that miraculous intersection of your story and God’s.
