Our Values
We believe emotional crises are occasions for spiritual awaking and can lead to spiritual growth while moving through life’s crisis and transitions.
Every moment is an opportunity to be inspired, or to inspire someone else. Our Director of Pastoral Care shares regular moments of inspiration that aim to encourage a broader perspective and outlook on life.
“Those of us who are strong and able in the faith need to step in and lend a hand to those who falter, and not just do what is most convenient for us. Strength is for service, not status. Each of us needs to look after the good of the people around us, asking ourselves, “How can I help?”
Romans 15:1-2
