About inter::mission

inter::mission is a living and learning community at The Purple Door, in Seattle’s University District. It is an experiential learning process in which college students live together over the course of the school year, and intentionally apply themselves to the ways and teachings of Jesus. It is a self-discovery process intended to help students understand and fully embrace their identities as citizens of the Kingdom of God, and live out the implications in practical ways. The world is changing at such a rapid pace that who Jesus is and calls people to be often get lost in the mix. inter::mission offers a progressive approach that doesn’t simply attempt to keep up with culture, but actually to anticipate changes ahead of time and help shape it from the inside. This means taking what we learn from Jesus and following him where we are – in school, at work, at home, and in the local/global community. In short, inter::mission exists to experientially liberate and empower young adults toward missional vocation. What that means will be explored throughout the process. The four basic elements are described on the pages listed to the right.
