For us, success is about loving well, one person at a time.

Jesus saw every person as having equal value to anyone else. Sadly, most of us have the unhealthy tendency to view people as either superior and worthy of pandering to, or somehow inferior and to be used for personal gain.

That's why for us, we think Jesus shows us that success is loving people well, one person at a time. Not worshiping them or using them. Instead, slowing and simplifying things down to the pace of love (1 Cor 13). When we get to the end of a day, we don’t want our life to be marked by fear as we've been around those we perhaps deem more powerful and have not been frustrated as we've hurried along those who somehow we see as inferior.

Being unhurried in the presence of the poor.

Being unfazed in the presence of the powerful.

A church for both the poor and the powerful.

If each of us despite our chaotic lives, can simply make a life priority to look one person in the eyes at a time, and think, "What does Jesus' love look like right now for this person?" then we believe when we look back, we will be shocked by how much Jesus has done.

Our desire is to love well, one person at a time.

We think it's the Jesus way.
