We Believe
God called each of us forward from God’s own self, molded us in that secret place in our mother’s womb – in the fullness of time – birthed each of us into God’s world and breathed into us the breath of life. First and foremost, we are all God’s children. We may have been a surprise to our parents…we were not a surprise to God. We may even have been an accident to our parents…we were not an accident to God. God chose each of us, to live at this time and in this place.
God did not call us into the world to take up space. God called each of us into the world to fulfill a mission – our personal mission – our ministry. The reason for our being. This is the reason for our being.
What we do
We believe before the foundation of the world was laid, God chose each of us to live at this time and in this place. God could have chosen to give us life at the time of Gandhi, Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Moses, Buddha, Jesus or Muhammad. God could have chosen to give us life at the time of Alexander the Great or Cicero – but no, this is the time God chose to give us life.
