Doc Night: Leap of Faith

May. 16, 2025, 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM

Winter Park Campus, MFLC 313 125 N. Interlachen Ave. Winter Park, FL 32789

Can Christians be in community together when they disagree?

Join us for Leap of Faith’s Orlando premiere! Leap of Faith is a brand new, powerful film that explores this question and many more. Director Nicholas Ma and Producer Morgan Neville (who previously told Mr. Roger’s story in Won’t You Be My Neighbor) approached The Colossian Forum about independently filming the ways they were creating community across difference. The film follows twelve pastors who spent a year navigating their shared heart for God and their theological disagreements. The result is a profound testament to what can happen when Christians bring what’s on their hearts to one another.

We have the honor to be led by Chase Stancle, one of the pastor participants in the film and a trained facilitator with The Colossian Forum. Chase describes himself as “a fully devoted follower of Christ, an eagerly engaged husband, father of four, and Lead Pastor of Unison Christian Church, an intentionally multi-ethnic church serving Grand Rapids, MI.”

As the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Ministry, we want to open spaces for authentic, courageous engagement with one another as Christians. We hope you will join us as we explore what church can look like when we pursue unity beyond agreement. Reserve your seat today—and bring friends!

MFLC 313 is on the third floor of the Matthias Family Life Center on our Winter Park campus (125 N Interlachen Ave). Parking available in large lot off Interlachen across from the sanctuary. Doors open at 6:15pm and program begins promptly at 6:30pm. Dialog will follow film screening, ending at 9pm.
