Our Vision
We are a family on a journey: giving grace, living truth and reflecting Jesus.
We are an unfinished collection of travelers, single and married, young and old, bound together and captured by a glimpse of Jesus big enough to convince us that life is not about us but all about Him. We pursue transforming truth rather than stagnant knowledge. We desire to constantly move toward one another in unconditional love and forgiveness, worshipping together, playing together, living life together. We are wounded healers, embracing the stranger, strengthening the weak, empowering the poor and seeking the lost. We are seed-throwers, fire-starters, hope-peddlers and grace-givers. We want our world to be different because God has sent us.
