What we do

We are five people who are trying to follow Jesus, sharing a large 5 bedroom 3.5 bathroom house. In the past, we’ve had girls upstairs and guys downstairs, but presently we are all male. Community/spiritual practices include shared meals a week, spending time together, most of us attend church together, and about once a month we have a “salon” evening of music / poetry / artwork. We have a backyard garden, two cats, and used to have chickens. We have had dogs live with us in the past. We are drug-free, and there is no smoking inside the house.

Currently, one of our members is only here temporarily (for summer 2023). We are interested in one or two additional members–each would have their own bedroom and potentially their own bathroom as well. Some furnishings are available. Exact rent amount and availability dates are dependent on timing and total number of members.

Get in touch with us if you’re interested! After contacting us, the next step would be to join us for a meal (or if you’re out of town, a video call).
