Love Jesus

Jesus is the center of our faith. Jesus is known through the Bible, but truly understood only by following him. Jesus is known by the people of faith we meet, by joining with others in hearing his words and seeing his life. Jesus is known in the heart; Jesus is known in our actions. We never experience all there is to know of Jesus, so these pages reflect that mystery. Both art and theology endeavor to translate the intangible into the tangible. When they work together, they come much closer to that goal than either could do separately.
