Our community is a “work in progress”: We don’t have a fancy mission statement, but we do have a commitment to “walk together in the way of Jesus”. Like the disciples, we are trying to follow in Jesus’ footsteps (and we are trying to keep up!). We know that this journey we share is a life-long path. As we walk together, we will share the path with different people at different times, and we believe that each person with whom we share the path of faith and life gives us a wider glimpse of God’s grace and God’s call for us to live abundantly.
We are challenged as a faith community to open our eyes and hearts to needs and opportunities for transformation right here in the Kansas City Metro area. Each small group is formed around a shared mission, and as a regular, spiritual practice, the small group engages in that mission. “Living Room” Groups are forming now around the following opportunities:
- “Green Team”: challenging the faith community in areas of environmental responsibility, ecological sustainability, and creation care
- Neighborhood Transformation
- Children's Advocacy

And some mission seems beyond our capability to make a difference. So we find ways to contribute to mission that is bigger than we can accomplish on our own as a new faith community. We choose to join with other churches in shared mission in our city, throughout the
