The world
tells us...​
if we have
more and
do more,
then we’ll be happy.
But that’s a lie.
​
The way of more
is dehumanizing.
It turns us into curated selves,
and leaves us
anxious, exhausted, and empty.
We’re seeking a way to
reclaim our humanity.
​
​
A way to be
​
fully awake, fully aware, fully alive.

We imagine a world where every person is free to become who they really are.

But that kind of freedom doesn’t just happen.
It hinges on one collective agreement:
we all belong. And we belong to one another.
Then, we have to dig in: why are we really here? What is our true purpose?
And how can we equip and empower one another to pursue
that purpose and fulfill our potential?
​
​​
(And let’s be honest, there are many forces that hold us back from finding belonging, purpose, and potential – racism, sexism, ableism, poverty...the list is awfully long.)
But when we resist those forces of division and hierarchy,
we are liberated–free to become ourselves.
We become more and more aware of God’s love at work in us, and together we
reclaim our humanity.

a home to find
belonging
purpose

& liberation.
Last month, Fairmount unveiled its new mission statement:
Reclaiming our humanity by embodying God's love.
Now, we're turning to you (our neighbors) to get your perspective.
We want to hear about the opportunities, issues, and challenges you see
in our shared community that might intersect with our mission.
