We, Robin and Claire, believe the Bible is God’s Word for life, that Jesus Christ is God's son, and that trust-filled relationships are God’s foundational way of giving care and enabling people to do worthwhile things. We have been married 26 years and have two children.

During our years of leading in traditional churches, we met many people who wanted community and to learn about Jesus but had hesitations about institutional church. We also experienced that some aspects of the institutional church, those that do not originate in the Bible, and add unbiblical burdens and create unnecessary barriers between God and people. Institutional churches also have a poor track record of helping people learn the Bible. Recent studies indicate only between 5-7% of Christians know the Bible thoroughly and are able to rightly apply it in their lives.

“Jesus said of the religious leaders…they crush people with unbearable religious demands and never lift a finger to ease the burden.” — Matthew 23:1-4

We created BASICS as a place to return to God’s basics. Our goal is to form positive relationships, explore God’s Word together, worship Jesus together, pray together, plus equip and encourage one another in life. We do these things in 2-way conversations that help everyone build knowledge AND healthy relationships.

This is how the early church did things, so we’re just going back to that.

If you are looking for a back-to-basics approach to growing with Jesus, give us a try. We would love to meet you!
