The mission and purpose of the church was summed up into three words that I believe are the crux of our faith: Christ, cause, and community.

Jarrid Wilson

Jarrid Wilson war ein US-amerikanischer evangelikaler Pastor und Buchautor, der zuletzt an der Harvest Christian Fellowship in Kalifornien wirkte. Bekannt wurde er als Mitgründer der Initiative „Anthem of Hope“ und durch seinen offenen Einsatz gegen die Stigmatisierung von Depressionen und psychischen Erkrankungen in der Kirche. Seine Texte thematisieren seelischen Zerbruch und Gottes Gnade und führen Bibellesern vor Augen, dass christlicher Glaube und psychische Not einander nicht ausschließen.
