…be transformed by the renewing of your mind” / Romans 12:2
Reflect on that statement for a moment…
Could it really be that what you think about yourself and this world is what you become? That you could be transformed by how you think? People wrestle daily with thoughts of fear, failure, jealousy, loneliness, and despair. Being trapped by these types of thoughts only hinder and add to the chaos life throws our way. This way of life binds people and leaves them lost, helplessly wandering through this world. We believe that there is a God whose thoughts are greater than ours, and because of that; what God intended for our life is very different from what we tend to think. God has a story that is full of hope, courage, redemption, and love. Understanding this invitation stirs us to find the life He originally designed for us. Once realized, our responsibility then becomes helping others rethink their invitation into this same story.
GatheringA gathering to bring an entire community of people TOGETHER. With people of all color and age groups we want to reclaim the beauty of learning, praising, serving, and growing together. During these gatherings, we also want to take part and celebrate in communion, giving, and baptism as a community. We believe that learning God’s Word is the highest form of worship because it pushes us towards a new way of living. What happens during this time is the beginning of what is to take place the rest of the week. Therefore, we value a time where we can gather together to take part in this with others. |
TogethernessWe all ache for meaningful relationships, but often find it difficult to actually exist in them. We believe that we were created to live life together… with others. God designed us this way and life makes more sense when this happens. We want to help create ways for people to access and influence each other, while rethinking how to serve the life of someone else. In a home, restaurant, coffee shop, park or other, this is an opportunity for people to network in real relationships. It’s in these gatherings that we want to reproduce followers of Jesus Christ, who seek out others through their way of living. |
ServingWe want to do all we can to help people rethink love in this world. Together with others, we want to love in such a way that no one could deny Jesus any longer. Through engaging in the area schools; local organizations; communities of Orlando; Burkina Faso, Africa; and other local and global opportunities, we desire to let others see Jesus through our life. We do believe that the body of Christ is to serve within the church as well. We hope to engage many people in helping accomplish these moments, and we value this because it allows for more people to have an opportunity to learn how they can live the life God has designed for each of them. |
