ABIDING
I have come that you may have
life, and have it to the full. – John 10:10
I have told you this so that my
joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: Love each other as I have
loved you. – John 15:11-12
These
verses sum up for me my walk with Christ.
Not only does my walk with Christ bring me spiritual life (salvation) it
also leads me in finding life that is full with meaning and purpose in my daily
walk with Christ. The deep abiding joy I
find in Christ’s joy that is in me sustains me in all of life, especially when
the way gets really hard. “Life to the
full” and “joy that is complete” are certainly found in loving God and loving
others as Christ has loved me. –
Tim Detweiler
Vision
Statement - As followers of Jesus
Christ, we are a community of faith

and strength, and to love others as our self.
