Our name comes from a story Jesus told about a man who found a buried treasure in a field. After finding the treasure, the man buried it again. He then went home, and sold all that he had to purchase the field. According to Jesus, this is what it is like following God’s way. It’s a high-risk venture, but there is no venture more worth taking because of the incomparable value of this treasure. Venture is a community that gathers around the risky way of God as best displayed in Jesus. The Jesus of the Bible displays God’s love, redemption and ultimate desire for humanity. We believe that a life of service and worship lived in Christian community is the best way for us to become like Jesus.
