PHILOSOPHY

we are here to love God and love people- sometimes this isn't easy or clear-cut, in fact it never is, but it is our aim. life just seems to get crazier and crazier all the time. we want to have fun, experience life, live in community, and serve others in creative ways using our God given gifts. we are open to learn, grow, change, explore, discuss, and experience whatever comes our way.
