Our Way

We follow Jesus in the tradition of the Beloved Disciple:

John 13; 19;20;21. 

Living in this way involves:

Being Loved by God- because God loves us, we do not have to live life according to our needs, we are rather liberated to live according to the values of love because God provides all of our needs.

Loving God- Rather than searching for a “life purpose, “ loving God becomes the purpose of our life, and we find all the meaning we need in loving God.

Loving our Community- loving God naturally translates to loving people, we find the best example of loving people in Jesus. Jesus moved through his community offering mercy, generosity, justice, gentleness, kindness, forgiveness, hope, and power.
