We believe that we are called to follow what Jesus said and did; to walk with the hurting and bring hope and healing… and to do this in the context of community!  There’s an old word we use to help shape how we do this: Benevolence. 

Benevolence involves a lifestyle of caring, respect and compassion. It encompasses attitudes and behaviors that guide how we relate to people in need.  Our Compassion Team is called to help fellow Journeyers realize that benevolence is a quality of our life as followers of Jesus Christ and not merely a matter of financial assistance. The Compassion Team acts on behalf of the journey and to call fellow Journeyers to appropriate responses of benevolent care.
