*Our pastor is glad to accommodate your available time outside

The Five Permissions at GENEVA AVE
1. You have permission to be yourself.
2. You have permission to make mistakes.
3. You have permission to ask for what you need.
4. You have permission to say “No”.
5. You have permission to speak the truth in love. All of us want to be a part of a church that's vital and vibrant. We dream of a church that touches our soul and sends us into the world to "make disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world." Spring of water gushing up to everlasting and abundant life, rivers of living water flowing from the hearts of those who experience Christ: these metaphors capture the lushness and refreshment of the oasis. At Geneva Ave., you will find water in the desert, silence in sound, spirit in the body, and soulfulness in living. We envision a church that is “a dizzying whirl of laughter, music, cookies, pealing bells, new ideas, children playing on the lawn, and people swarming like bees in a hive.” (In This Mountain by Jan Karon) We hope you will be part of that whirl! As we journey together in our quest for God, we discover that we are found by God who turns the desert into a spring, silence into a song, and stillness into a dance. We at Geneva Ave. are embarking on the exciting adventure of creating an authentic, life giving Christian community. We seek to grow in our relationship with our living God and to serve God in the world. God calls us to become not merely servants, but friends, finding the divine in our everyday living and bringing healing and hope to the hurting world. In deed, our mission is making disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world. We invite you to join us! I look forward to getting acquainted with you. If there is anything that I can do to answer your questions or assist you in making your life at Geneva Ave. meaningful, please don’t hesitate to contact me. Sincerely,
Emilio Sazon, Pastor
