We have a holistic view of Christianity.  This means that following Jesus affects all areas of life:  how time and money are spent, and how we take care of the people and environment around us and on the other side of the world.  We don’t always agree on exactly how this pans out, but we commit to praying for and encouraging each other as we discover God’s leading.

We don’t have all the answers.  In fact, there are some things in the Bible that really make us scratch our heads.  But one thing that we are sure of is found in the book of John, third chapter verses 16 and 17.  It reads:  “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life.  Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him.”  (That comes from the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible.)

We’ve all heard of God, and many people believe He exists.  But who is Jesus?

To us, Jesus is the Son of God who desires to be the fulfillment of relationship with all people.  With grace and forgiveness, Jesus pursues us to bring us into an intimate relationship with God.

Jesus loves all people, without favoritism, and invites us all to a common ground at the foot of the cross.  There, Jesus invites us to transformationally grow into the people he created us to be.

Jesus is present with us to celebrate life and to walk with us in our suffering and pain.  He wants to lead us to find meaning in all of life’s experiences.
