AWM: how would you describe your organization — what is your mission and what work do you do towards that mission?
WDFP: Through the power of the Holy Spirit and the disciplines of prayer, worship, learning, and service, we will:
Cultivate a community of safety and inclusion that renews and liberates us for greater risk and a deeper commitment to Christ.
Repent of our own complicity in the world’s injustice and live toward new, more equitable forms of common life, both locally and globally.
Pursue our Christian identity through encountering the Word of God, delighting in the wonder of God’s creation, and sharing the stories of God’s grace in our lives.
By God’s grace, we will embrace the way of the cross and claim our hope in the resurrection. So long as any of God’s people still need liberation, Christ’s mission, and thus ours, has not been fulfilled.
