SELAH

Our why:

• Discipleship/growth- To Disciple women who make disciples - using large group and small group connections to challenge, teach, and equip women to live out their faith. So that we would see the world changed through women going into their homes and community and living out the true gospel with their lives! Through authentic believers living out their calling, we will see many come to know Jesus and see what it looks like to live it out by her example. - follow me as I follow Christ.

• Counter catechesis/ influence - re-directing our lives to the truth of the bible and not the worlds. Addressing the issues we face in our culture and what the bible actually says about them and where we have gotten them backwards.

• Bible literacy/abiding life change- How to read and study the bible for yourself! Teaching women to not just listen to what other people have learned about the bible, but how to learn and teach it in it’s true meaning and context. To love it, be instructed by it, and to give it away.

• Community/transparent life- They will know us by our love for one another! That we would watch our words and our actions carefully. To pursue peace, things that are encouraging (though call out sin for what it is in a loving way), to encourage unity, accountability, honest conversation, accept where others actually are, and to take responsibility for the lack of deep community in our lives.
