      We\u2019re people just like you from all walks of life, looking for a way to make God a bigger part of our lives.\u00a0 We have young children, we are retired; we work on the land, we work in offices; we commute every day, we work from home; we have plenty, and we have little.\u00a0 But what we share is a passion to know God through Jesus and to live lives transformed by God\u2019s love.<\/h2>\n

        \u00a0We believe in the grace and forgiveness of God's love.\u00a0 We believe working for the good of others is the natural consequence of faith. We believe all humans are God's good creation worthy of God's abundant love.\u00a0 We believe it is our calling to work for a world of reconciliation, peace, justice and love.<\/h2>\n

          \n\t\t\t\t\t\tYes, she is barefoot. Seven years ago, Rev. Teri while putting on her shoes for work she heard God tell her not to put her shoes on. Thinking it was just going to be an interesting day...she finally asked, why? God's answer? \"It's all holy ground\". Since then, she's learned a lot more about holy ground, and bare feet.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>
