Foundry Spiritual Center

The first thing I noticed was how welcoming people were—but not in an overbearing way. Having been there a few months, people have taken a genuine interest in my life. The community is strong, and theologically they are quite open, members representing a variety of theological perspectives. This diversity is held and encouraged without in any way ‘watering down’ or diminishing the experience of God. Faith is a wild journey, especially in our time. Foundry414 offers a place to journey together.

The people are amazing and the church really is the people, right? I became pretty disenfranchised with previous Church in the past and coming to foundry renewed my hope in the gospel of love. The blue ocean faith tenants really resonated with me as a way to continue my faith journey and engage with my community.

I was raised catholic, then went to a Lutheran church in madison. A neighbor recommended foundry. So glad they did. We have been here for almost 10 years now. Foundry is a place where everyone will know your name, ask you about stuff going on in your life, etc. . Services are non liturgical which was wierd for me at first. I'd describe the services as more of a conversation, sometimes we eat together Sunday morning for service. There is a kids program in addition to the adult service. Not a place where we go verse by verse in the bible Sunday morning. I like that and can always get that with a podcast, you can't get what foundry provides Sunday morning and all week (social and service events during the week) from "radio church". If you have questions, Google my name and contact me.

St. Dunstan's youth group meets here on Friday nights and they seem to have a ball. They eat lots of pizza anyway. And play some fun games.
