How do we serve those in need?

As followers of Jesus we believe that justice, reconciliation, and mercy are central to the Kingdom of God. As a result, we are called to engage faithfully and wholeheartedly with areas of brokenness and injustice locally and globally. We demonstrate God’s love in tangible ways with his peace, presence, and power. We do this by standing with the poor, the marginalized, and those on the underside of power; by increasing justice through the way of righteousness. We desire to extend a circle of divine compassion and make sure that no one is left outside of it.  

To this end, we work to see wrong things made right. The measure of our compassion lies not in our service to those on the margins but in our willingness to see ourselves in kinship with them. We seek nothing short of shalom, the flourishing and welfare of our city, and to see God’s world along with all that he has made become as He intended it to be. We do this through pursuing covenant friendships as we reconcile with, learn from, serve, advocate, support, and dream with our neighbors.
