We see following Jesus as all-encompassing, engaging our minds, our emotions, and our lifestyles. Jesus claims redemptive power to transform all of who we are, and so we find that faith in him means learning to follow him in the way we think about life, how we process our emotions, and through the lifestyle choices we make. Essential to valuing deep faith is engaging honestly, safely, and realistically in conversation with each other. We choose not to fear questions and doubts, and we welcome them into our dialog.

We find it difficult to believe that the world is the way it is supposed to be. We look around and see disease, poverty, fractured relationships, and war, among many other indicators of a deep brokenness. Jesus claims to have the power to bring about the redemption and transformation we are looking for. We see Jesus as the ultimate Redeemer - the one who fixes what is broken, and we are passionate to understand and embrace the role that he offers us to join him in his mission of redemptive transformation.

Jesus claims that the greatest way to live our lives is to love God and to love people.

We value simple love by intentionally choosing not to offer a large number of our own programs, or to obtain a permanent facility. Instead of asking people to come to us, we desire to spend our time assisting with the needs already in existence in our community. Click the title above to read more.
