We want to know Jesus. We want to see a new life in us, our friends, and in people who have never had a faith or have been hurt by the church. We want to be a people of welcome and laughter, of faith and hope and love, friends and family, justice and changed lives. We can’t change your life, but we know who can. We want to be a people where the homeless know they can find food, the broken can find healing, and the rejected feel at home. It’s where one group is working to care for local drug addicts and another is training teachers in another country. We know that no church is like this all the time, including us. But we refuse to give up. He is the Vine; we are the Branches.
