Beloved Community:
Created with Diversity, Designed for Community
The Beloved Community: Created with Diversity, Designed for Community was formed to lead New Hope in work related to racial reconciliation. We want to take steps toward just and equitable engagement both inside and outside the walls of the church.
The Beloved Community: Created with Diversity, Designed for Community wants to partner with God in making things right by:
1. Helping build God’s Kingdom on earth
We do this by living out kingdom values such as humility, lament, courage, listening, and curiosity.
2. Loving God and Loving All Others
We know that this is sometimes hard to do but we believe that in God’s kingdom this is what we are called to do.
3. Living by Grace – Both Receiving and Sharing Grace
We think this looks like allowing for mistakes and celebrating the pathway they illuminate for growth.
