We learn how to be disciples through a rhythm of action and reflection. We want to think critically and live faithfully. We seek to know two stories deeply: the biblical story of God’s love for us and the stories of our world.
Our philosophy
When the goal is discipleship, education takes a bit of a different turn. It’s not about pouring information into heads or about “believing 6 impossible things before breakfast.” It’s about being open to what God is up to in the world. It’s about honoring questions and faith journeys. It’s about being a safe place to ask questions. It’s about seeking to be transformed. (see Romans 12:1-21)
