Mission
In the face of ecological breakdown, we seek to: Meet God in creation and follow the way of Jesus. Take inspiration from permaculture principles to grow food and tend the land for all life. Create places of beauty, welcome, inclusion, justice, hope and peace.
Aims
-
Creator
We are a Christian community that seeks to encounter the Creator God in worship in order to learn how to live faithful lives in a complex world.
-
Creation
We aim to create beautiful and productive organic spaces where the land and its creatures can flourish. We will explore and model new ways to live in connection to each other and our planet, making beauty out of the discarded pieces of a throwaway culture.
-
Community
We aim to be Christian communities that are diverse, safe, and welcoming.
-
Compassion
We aim to place ourselves at the fringes of society. We are committed to giving away at least 50% of what we grow.
-
Collaboration
We will connect with friends and partners, and aim to nurture a network of ground-up communities to inspire innovative ways of living in an age of ecological crisis.
