Telos

Where We’re Going and How We’ll Get There

On any journey, it is helpful to regularly check your bearings, to make sure you’re still heading in the right direction, and to course correct where needed. Our mission and vision since the beginning has been to join Christ “in his work of redemption in Washington, DC, and the world … to see the Kingdom of God on display in DC, in every life and every sphere of life.” As we approach six months of life in the age of COVID-19, Pastor Justin Fung helps us take time to recalibrate as a church, to remember what we’re called to, and to consider how to get from here to there.

Love God

When Jesus is asked about the greatest commandment, he responds, "Love God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength." Pastor Watson explains that loving God "with all" is the challenging part. It's not about working harder, it's about surrendering and saying "yes" to God.

Love One Another

Assistant Pastor Andrea Ackermann takes a look at our calling to be church and what it means to love one another. We can see in Jesus' words and example that loving one another is not just the charge to care for one another, but loving one another is the foundation of our discipleship and our witness to the world.

Love Your Neighbor

As we close out our Telos series, Pastor Matthew Watson talks about what it means for us to love our neighbors, for that is the invitation—and command—of Jesus.
