The articles in this section will tell you a lot about what it is like to experience life at Metanoia. 

We are an intentional community, and a church--a wider community of Christians whose spirituality has led us on a path of social and political engagement with the dominant American culture of which we are a part.  We are, however, not a utopian community.  The Way of Jesus is the road, not the destination.  We have to be on the road to get to wherever we are going, which isn't always clear.  Our arrival is in God's hands, but we trust the road. 

Those who are members of the church have covenanted to meet together regularly to share their lives and a portion of their income to support the activities of the total community.

While all of this may sound very structured, we are actually a highly flexible, relaxed and open community of believers, who are living as best we can according to our understanding of how Jesus would be living in our world.  We try constantly to challenge ourselves to accept and embrace all kinds of people.  We readily admit that acceptance is an on-going, sometimes difficult process that is based upon establishing and fostering our relationships with one another.  Having a sense of humor and a relationship with Jesus Christ are the keys to any success we may have in reaching beyond our comfort zones to one another.
