“[Love for Enemies] ?You have heard that it was said, ?Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.? But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”

Journey Statement
Mission Statement: (Why we exist)
"To reach out from our doorsteps 'to the ends of the earth' equipping people to live out their passion and love of God in the way of Christ" (Acts 1:8)
Vision Statement: (Who we intend to be)
"To be a people committed to the journey as much as the destination"
Faith Statement: (What we believe)
We rejoice in God, maker of heaven and earth. We are the recipients of God's astonishing love for every human being through Jesus Christ, whom we confess is the Son of the Living and Creative God. We proclaim Christ is our Way and the Lord and Savior of the world. Christ's birth, life, death, and resurrection have released us to be a voice in the darkness as we seek to serve all people. We enter into a new life through baptism and are made one with the whole people of God. With the Spirit of God guiding us, we join together on this journey, becoming the church that is called out to be a touch point between heaven and earth. As the church, we live life in the never-ending, awesome presence of the One Who Loves All.
Values Statement: (What we practice)
"To be a people of passion, belonging to one another without condition, living in communion with God and God's people, defining and refining our God-given life purposes, sharing the story of faith for all to hear"
