Spiritual Growth
We live in an “in between” world. Jesus has come and inaugurated a new era, a new world order, that the Bible calls the Kingdom of Heaven (or God). And yet, we are still to see heaven come to earth in all its fullness. We continue to pray: “let you will be done on earth as it is in heaven”.
Jesus has shown us how to live in this “in between” world, the perfect human being. He is our model and inspiration, and we seek to become fully human as He is human. Sin (or our selfishness) diminishes us, making us less human. Jesus comes, by His Spirit, to restore our humanity and dignity.
We seek to co-operate with this restoring work of the Spirit, helping people through life’s’ experiences, engagement with spiritual disciplines and practices (such as prayer and using the Scriptures), Bible teaching & instruction, and participation with community life. We believe that these are all essential to promote spiritual growth.
