Identity
Our faith is…
A holistic faith. We join in the story of God the creator, who from the beginning of time has been working to bring the whole world and the whole of our humanity back into sync with His perfect existence. Heart, soul, mind and body are all equally important and cannot be separated.
A missional faith. We join in the story of Jesus Christ, as he does the same, drawing with him a community of disciples, to go to the poor, the broken and the hurting.
Our faithfulness will depend on our willingness to go where there is brokenness, loneliness, and human need. If the church has a future it is a future with the poor in whatever form.
- Henri J.M. Nouwen
A communal faith. We join in the story of the Holy Spirit, who works to join us together as one as the body of Jesus Christ. If we are for God, we must be for each other – we must journey together.
A marginal faith. We join in the story of the great prophets of ancient Israel, who placed themselves on the margins of existence in order to speak God’s Word into the society and culture in which they found themselves.
An evolving faith. We bring our own stories, joining them together, whether for days, months or years. As our stories continue our collective, community story will also evolve.
