Who's This For?
If you've ever wondered what Jesus must have been thinking, feeling, and experiencing during his last moments...this is for you.
If you've ever wondered if God cares, or if God understands your pain and your sorrow...this is for you.
If you've ever felt like you wanted to go deeper in your understanding of scripture, in your experience of God in worship, in your personal practice of prayer...this is for you.
This is for true believers and earnest seekers.
This is for those who are curious and those who are as-of-yet unsatisfied.
This is for those who want more...and are willing to trust that God will provide.
Palm Sunday - understanding how joy and sorrow collide
Fig Monday - processing our disappointment with religion
Great Tuesday - taking responsibility for our own hearts, needs, and promises
Spy Wednesday - coming to terms with our hidden motives
Maundy Thursday - loving our friends no matter how imperfectly they love us in return
Good Friday - the beauty of self-sacrifice
Silent Saturday - faith that the God we cannot see is nevertheless active and powerful
Easter Sunday - the power of new life
We believe that God provides hope and healing to all people, and we intend to cooperate with God in all we do.
We open the Chapter House during Holy Week to provide spiritual encounters of uncommon grace, so all people can know and experience God's love.
We want you to join us, to feel the pleasure and power of God's love and the promise of new life in Christ Jesus.

About Dr. David McDonald
I’ve been a pastor for 30 years as well as a college professor, seminary lecturer, author, and storyteller.
My work has been featured in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Time Magazine. I began Fossores Innovation and Design, my coaching and training network, to enliven the dreams of preachers, leaders, and creatives.
If you’re tired of ministry that feels more like business-as-usual than a provocative cooperation with God; or, if you still have as-of-yet unfulfilled noble ambitions, sacred fantasies, and holy dreams then I can help you rekindle your fervor and reengage your calling with fresh fire.
I love working with people who care, doing work that matters forever.
If that’s you, you may have just found your tribe...
