Our Mission
We proclaim Jesus Christ and promote communities of joy, hope, love and peace.
Our Vision
We believe that the future belongs to God and that the promise of God's kingdom shall be fulfilled. We have a vision of that kingdom where Christ is truly honoured, where God's will is done on earth, where the hungry are fed, poverty alleviated, sinners are repentant, and sin is forgiven. We believe that love is the proper foundation of our relationship with others, that opportunity to grow in the likeness of Christ should be fostered, and that resources of the world can be managed to respect and preserve their creation and purpose. We dream of a time when all evil is overcome and peace prevails.
We will be an international community of prophetic vision, faithful to the Christ, empowered by hope, spending ourselves courageously in the pursuit of peace and justice.
