Bryan and Christy Berghoef

Bryan and Christy live in Holland, MI, where they are helping form a new progressive faith community: Holland UCC. They have also led communities in Washington, DC and Traverse City, MI. They both sense that community is at its best where all feel welcome, where love of neighbor is extended and received, and simplicity and depth are at the core. Bryan is a pastor and author of the book, Pub Theology: Beer, Conversation, and God. He insists that good things happen when we sit around the table together and talk about things that matter, and what better setting than at the pub, over a pint. Christy is a civil discourse consultant, photographer, musician, writer, speaker and mother of four. She is the author of Cracking the Pot: Releasing God from the Theologies That Bind Him.
