Living the Christian Way
Do you want your faith to be alive and an integral part of your week Sunday to Saturday and not just Sundays? A key part of ministry is vocation. Even in today's church there are some who still hesitate to call what they do ministry-- at home, at school, in the office, or the factory, on the farm, in retirement. We are absolutely convinced -- and see evidence all around -- that all these situations can be places of servant ministry, if what is done is done with mindfulness and compassion following the example set by Jesus of Nazareth.

The writings of the New Testament speak about the “Way” as code word for the manner of life of a disciple of Jesus. This word conveys a sense of movement, of walking a path to God guided by the Spirit. The community of Christians, the Church, has the responsibility to be your support and strength along the Way.
