## Why- our Purpose
1. We believe God has called us to create informal but yet spiritual environments focused on **Jesus** within **local communities** (homes, pubs, community centers etc).
2. By being a part of this community of faith people will feel enabled to build their relationship with **Jesus** as well as people in their **local communities** (neighborhood, workplace, friends and family)
3. We want this to be a space where we can invite friends and family who may not go to traditional or formal churches
4. Ultimately we want to see more and more communities of faiths in **Jesus** spring up that would love and care for their **local communities** (neighborhood, workplace, friends and family)
