Our Values

Identity, Spiritual Formation, Community, Justice, Reconciliation

- Bryan Loritts

“Relationships are strengthened when there is a greater commitment to something or someone greater than the relationship. Without this suprarelational commitment, community becomes at best shallow, and isolation is soon to follow.”

-Rich Villodas

“The work of forming communities to address and dismantle racism is long, protracted work. And even when much work is put into it, many problems remain. But this is the work. The work of the gospel.”
