WHAT WE BELIEVE

We believe that the glory of God is a human being, fully alive.

Thus, we strive to be a community of healing and reconciliation, supporting and celebrating each other as we are,

and as God would have us be.

Gather

We gather regularly as followers of Christ - ever seeking to know God through Christ more fully. As did St. Francis, we worship God in the beauty of holiness. We are a festive community where your soul can be fed, heal, and grow.

Transform

We are pilgrims on a journey. In all we do we are open to the Holy Spirit drawing us ever closer to God. We grow deeper into the love of God and into Christian community through study, contemplation, prayer, and action. We are an oasis for the soul.

Serve

We believe our baptism calls us to roll up our sleeves and get busy. Through servant ministry, we seek wholeness for our siblings in the greater Macon area, in the Diocese of Atlanta, Churchwide in the Episcopal Church, and throughout the world.
