OUR MISSION
Is to be REAL PEOPLE sharing REAL LOVE
to bring REAL CHANGE by God's grace.
What does it mean?
Jesus spent his ministry inviting REAL PEOPLE to eat with him, follow him, and be changed by him. Throughout the Bible, God takes ordinary people and empowers them to do extraordinary things. God knows us and loves us just as we are and by his grace he never leaves us as we are. When we show up as the REAL PEOPLE we are and experience the REAL LOVE through one another and through the presence of God's Holy Spirit, we are changed and we are empowered to make REAL CHANGE by God's grace in the world around us.
