our mission
We are a community called together by our crucified and risen Lord, Jesus
Christ.
We are men, women, and children being taught by the Holy Spirit, baptized
and formed by Christ's love, to witness to the truth, to be holy, to be
faithful, to be his missionaries, to participate in his suffering, and to
worship and praise his Father, bringing our lives and talents to him and
receiving gifts from him, that, by grace, we might share in the divine
nature of our Triune God and participate in the salvation of the world, to
his Glory.
There are two practical means—and only two—by which we may carry out this
gospel mission: these are, first, to love God with all of our heart, soul,
mind, and strength and, second, to love our neighbors as ourselves.
What's more, Jesus gives us a New Commandment and our obedience to it is how
the world will know the love of God: that we love each other as Christ loved
us, as impossible as that seems.
We invite everyone—men, women, and children: those full of faith and those
with doubts, the young and the seasoned, the lost and the found, people of
all races and from every walk of life—to join us in this holy and joyful
work.
