Ephesians 2:10 ...join him in the work he does, the good work he has gotten ready for us to do, work we had better be doing." (The Message) |
Mission Update: October, 2005 - Andy Coats
MISSION STATEMENTWe exist to be the facilitators of healing, personal development and spiritual growth within the Christian context to homeless and socially isolated people. |
|
THE VISION To create a community which is accessible to all who are in need. To develop and implement programs and outreach ministries which seek to enable people to move into healthier lifestyles. |
|
CORE VALUES We believe that all people are created and loved by God. We believe that people have priority over money, structures, systems and other institutions. We must act in ways that respect the dignity, uniqueness and intrinsic worth of every person. We will celebrate the richness of diversity in all humanity. |
We affirm the historic Christian faith as expressed in the Apostle's creed, and in particular:
We believe that all humanity is created in the image of God.
We believe in the redemptive and reconciliatory work of Jesus Christ.
We believe the Christians are to be agents of reconciliation and healing, both individually and socially.
The Apostle's Creed:
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
