We are created out of Love and in connection to God, the earth, and one another. Christ reveals that the way of abundant Life - the way of joyful living, the way of fullness, the way of integrity and wholeness - is Love. We are a community of human beings that strive to accept this Love of God, Love ourselves, and Love one another and the world - even our enemies. This - to receive and embody compassion - we believe, is what it means to be a Christian.
