We exist as a faith community for the three-fold purpose of 1) connecting people with Christ, 2) strengthening the community of faith and 3) making a difference in our world.
Our Mission focus in 2012
Addressing Poverty Ministries: There are significant questions that linger in the air of our poverty ministries. How can we move deeper in relationship with participant in our community ministries (community garden, community dinner, neighborhood food pantry, music and drama camp, summer reading program…)? How might we address the causes of poverty as well as their symptoms? How does healing the trauma of poverty play into wholeness and well-being? How might we practice this healing art that is part of our heritage?
Intentional Faith Development. Intentional Faith Development is about the path of spiritual growth. Richard Rohr, in his book Falling Upward calls it the “further journey.” It is the journey that opens the soul to, and creates in the process, the realm that Jesus called the kingdom of God. How do we engage people just beginning the journey and needing a place of safety to seek answers to difficult life questions? How do we walk with folks who are beginning to grow in faith through bible study, prayer groups, and community ministries? How do we assist sojourners to find the giftedness that God has given each of us, and begin to take some risks to put those gifts to use in God’s service? How can we be more intentional in walking with people in their spiritual journeys?
Ministries with Children and Families: Our ministry with children is strong and healthy. Our children are growing up and we seek to be responsive to their changing needs. How might we bring young families together to explore journey of faith options for themselves and their children?
