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
empowered by the Holy Spirit, seeking to love God with all our heart, mind, soul,
and strength, and to love others as our self.
