Jesus replied, "'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" Matthew 22:37 - 39 NLT 
| | To live like Jesus — | | loving God and | | sharing His love with others. |

|
|
 We are following Jesus—learning to love as he loved, and serve as he served.
| As we follow, we become more and more the people we are meant to be—a people fully alive. | | Our relationships brim with trust, unity and dignity. Families are healed. Neighbors love one another. And divisions of race and wealth are bridged. The weak are made strong. The hungry are fed. | | We are free from the things that held power over us. | | God’s light pierces the darkness—one day and one person at a time. We are changed. Our world is changed. It is a revolution. |
|
 |  We celebrate God—all that he is and all that he does—in spirit, in truth, and in unity. We worship with creativity and variety, blending modern style with rich history. We see worship as a lifestyle, extending all day, every day, in many ways. |  We serve and love others—in the church, in Mariemont and beyond—in practical, relevant ways. We seek to treat others like we wish we were treated—with love, generosity, humility, joy, imagination and passion. |  We share the love and influence of Jesus Christ with our families, our neighbors, our city, and our world. We include and invite, offering what we have received—so that everyone we know might some day experience a personal relationship with Jesus and join in his eternal community. |  We apprentice ourselves to Jesus in a life-long adventure of character growth and relational transformation. In the little things, day by day, we learn to live with the freedom, the view of the world, and the focus he modeled. We help one another discover our path, our gifts, and our unique part in God’s plan. |  We do life together—in families, in small groups, in all the places we work and live. As a community we practice grace, acceptance, and forgiveness. We serve with friends of Jesus from around the world as he leads. His kingdom knows no limits! |

Will you come
and journey with us? This is our journey with Jesus.
We know we haven’t arrived. | But together we travel the narrow road he chose,
guided by God’s grace and
empowered by his Spirit. | We are becoming all we were made to be:
a little more like Jesus each day. | We are learning that
life really is all about love. | There is no greater adventure,
no greater purpose, and
no greater destiny. |  |
