Hopes

While we are far from there, here are some of our hopes that keep us moving forward.

Imagine a community of faith, love, and hope where

Where people relentlessly pursued becoming the person God created them to be…
Where people are seen as sacred, rather than buildings or structures or systems…
Where people are comfortable seeking, because everyone is seeking…
Where people are safe to wrestle with the most meaningful things of life…
Where people are invited to come as they are…
Where people accept that life is messy, struggle is a reality, but hope always prevails…
Where people discover how they might contribute to impacting their neighborhoods & our world…
Where people explore how Jesus offers life not just after death, but life before death…

Again, these are just a few of ours. What do you hope for?

Where individuals of diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds walk, work and worship God together as one so that the world will know God’s love and believe.

where people experience and worship God through creativity
where children are an integral part of the holy community

Where people are constantly in awe as God is bigger than we ever imagined…
Where folks on the fringe are invited to the center…

Ser la iglesia, donde cada uno es la “buena nueva” que Jesús quiere que el mundo vea. Ser la iglesia viva por su Espíritu

For those of you who didn’t catch Rola’s comment – it’s translated as – “Being the church, where everyone is “good news” that Jesus wants the world to see. Being the church to live by his Spirit” – awesome!
