Hey friends! Im Stuart Sutherland co-founder of Heritage Missional Community. We are a growing network of micro-churches centered around a coffeehouse and coffee roasting business in Shasta Lake, California. If you ever thought there has to me more to this journey of following Jesus, then this is the right place for you! Thanks for joining me in a casual conversation about Reclaiming Authentic Discipleship. Fill up your coffee cup, settle in, and here we go.

The Famjam
The origin story of Heritage has been told and now it’s time to ask the Sutherland family what they thought of the journey.

Renewal
After loss and wandering in the wilderness, there was a promise from Jesus that “It’s Coming!”. Now the rebuilding begins with Stuart and Sara sharing reflections, hope and fresh vision.

The Wilderness
After the excitement of starting a “new expression of church,” the wear and tear of daily life started to challenge our expectations. Wasn’t more supposed to happen by now? Now comes loss, leadership challenges, and a huge wildfire.

The Honeymoon
The impossible was accomplished in 14 months: we had a building, remodel work complete, a small community of committed folks, and three of us to operate the coffeehouse. It was finally time to open the doors to a vision-come-true!
-
14 Months
With keys in hand we just saw the impossible accomplished. Oh-my-gosh we have a building! Now the real work begins. It’s a 14 month journey of fund raising, construction, more fundraising, more construction…you get the point. Every obstacle becomes an opportunity for a supernatural provision.

Accomplishing the Impossible
We received vision for Heritage, vision continued to develop in community, and we shared that vision with others. Momentum was outpacing our expectations and we now needed to find a building. The hunt was on, and things only got crazier!
