AGAPE love, which Jesus taught was at the core of a life that is good and true, is not simply a passive attitude of tolerance or concern.  AGAPE love is an intentionality to promote the well-being of another regardless of merit and without any expectation of anything in return.  After we are gathered to grow in our understanding of love and our capacity to love, we are all sent out into the world to be agents of love.

We are all charged during every worship gathering to consider how we might individually use our time, talents, and resources in love and compassion for the sake of restoring well-being and peace to all peoples in the context of our daily lives. 

We are also charged to work together corporately in seeking to use our shared energies and resources in love and compassion for the sake of restoring well-being and peace to all peoples in the local community to which we are sent as a congregation.  We have adopted a vision for how to do just that with our own buildings and financial resources, and we also support many other community partners in their good and peacemaking efforts.
