As we embrace the real, complicated humanity of Jesus we find hope for ourselves and our world, discovering our purpose to bring healing and peace.

God's wisdom and grace enable us to examine ourselves honestly and find healing and hope with our hearts.

Faith offers a strategy for combatting adversaries that holds onto the peace, love and hope shared with us in Christ

As we remain in community we can find our voice, rediscover joy and peace, and identify a purpose that is worthy of our lives and true to God's hope for us.

Through self-discipline, we have the capacity to make a new path and change our world.

When we live out our faith and our calling in a gracious Spirit, it becomes a purpose that is worthy of us and worthy of our life together.

The language of faith calls us to be rooted and grounded in love. God's love and compassion is offered for you, your neighbor, and even the stranger.

We have an opportunity to shape our communities and our church in a way that brings people together and allows the life that Jesus intended to flourish, not just for ourselves but for all of our neighbors.

As followers of Jesus, we must be part of reclaiming the hope and joy of faith which have the power to change our own world, and even the world around us.

By opening our hearts and minds to listen to the gospel and other voices we may be quick to dismiss, we can receive the wisdom and healing Jesus offers us.
