Our Mission is rooted in Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 25:31-46. This passage invites us to engage in three core pillars: building congregational vitality, dismantling structural xenophobia and racism, and eradicating systemic poverty.
Our Matthew 25 vision builds from the theme of wholeness or peace – shalom in the Hebrew text and Eirene in the Greek - and orients us toward what we are building, cultivating, and creating in lives and communities.
We build beloved communities in part by dismantling the harm caused by racist, misogynic, xenophobic, and homophobic structures.
We cultivate economic wholeness when we act to eliminate the destructive influence of poverty on people and communities.
These actions can welcome abundant life equity and hope in our shared journey.
At its core, Matthew 25 is about the healing and restoration of relationships, systems, and societies that reflect God’s justice and love. Jesus was often referred to as the Prince of Peace. Like Christ, Matthew 25 seeks to embody wholeness in action.
