The Mission is a new faith community in Dayton, Tn. We are in the very beginning stages of development. We would love any help, advice, suggestions, criticisms, etc. This area's love affair with fundamentalism has left many confused, hurt, or just pissed off about faith. It is The Mission's desire to lovingly bring people back into relationship with Jesus, and help them develop their "serve". Yeah, that last part was cheesy... I know. Anyways, here is a description of The Mission:

"We are a community of ordinary, broken people committed to the stubborn hope that God loves his creation and will restore all things to Himself. The mission of God to redeem the world is therefore our mission, as together we pursue justice, celebrate beauty, love our neighbors, and share the good news that God is building a new kingdom in our midst under the authority of Jesus Christ.

We look to Jesus—his life, teachings, death, resurrection, and eventual return—as our example, as together we seek to live in authentic, loving community with one another and those around us. We believe the Church is at its best when it sacrifices and serves.

We are regular people committed to living out the Mission of God in community and for the community."
