Making Disciples

We believe disciples are:
Servant-hearted, light hearted.

Joy-filled and faith-fueled,                                                          
Listening for God in prayer, scripture,                                  
words spoken in love or sung in a song.

Authentic and vulnerable                                                                      
brave and ordinary                                                                  
wise and humble, honest and strong.

Present. Present in the everyday.                                                
Present in the hard spaces and ready to grow.                                                      
Present with ears open and voice, even if trembling,                                
ready to stand up and speak out.

Generous with time, money and talent.                                
Generous with grace and gratitude,                              
compassion for self and others, in the face of mistakes.    
Generous with food to share, bread to    
break and room to make for one another.

On fire for God in a way that orders life,                                    
burning brightly, deeply calm, living with purpose,                              
drawing the best out of others,                            
sincere and alive to love in all moments.

Willing to try and then try again.
