Jesus is the centre of our faith | To be a Christian means to follow Jesus in daily life; it means more than having a spiritual experience or affirming a belief. For the Anabaptist Christian, following the teachings and the example of Jesus has the power to not only change our attitudes and our actions but it can also change who we are as living participants in the story of God and God’s people.
Community is the centre of our lives | One of the first things that Jesus did when he began his ministry was to form a community and, in time, they became the core of a new society called the church. Jesus wanted his followers to not only believe in him, but also to have a strong sense of belonging to each other.
Reconciliation is the centre of our work | Jesus came to reconcile all those who would respond to God and to each other. He addressed brokenness and injustice of all kinds, and trained a group of followers who became ambassadors of reconciliation. Reconciling people not only to God but also to each other is at the center of the work to which Jesus calls us.
