Welcome to Woodland Church for the screening of Leap of Faith, a documentary by director Nicholas Ma.

Woodland Church is a place you will be known, be loved, and belong. Woodland is a Cooperative Baptist Fellowship Church (cbf.net) that values compassion, justice, curiosity, and scholarship. We are creating a sacred community founded on the joy that comes from God’s self-giving love.

Rather than escaping the world we gather at Woodland with the hope of transforming the world. The heart of the gospel is to share, in word and deed, the life-giving, liberating, and loving Word of God. Therefore, we commit ourselves to a proclamation of the Christian faith that is responsible, socially concerned, and relevant to our needs as a caring and inclusive fellowship.
