The Festival Church seeks to be a racially, culturally and economically diverse ecumenical coninunity in Christ, given to sharing power and establishing new patterns of economic justice.
As a church we support the work of the Festival Center and Servant Leadership School. Our people are also heavily involved in Jubilee Jobs, the Teen Center, and Joseph's House/Miriam's House.
Internationally, we have a sister relationship with a Baptist Church in San Salvador. We also support the Soweto Church community in South Africa, and contribute niedical supplies to Harmn Baptist Church in Jamaica. Our people have visited each of these communities.
- Focusing on the contemplative dirmnsions of life while being involved in a serving ministry, we desire to help in balancing the inward and outward journeys of Church of the Saviour volunteers and workers and students of the Servant Leadership School, and to hold them accountable to their agreed disciplines. We seek to provide a place for processing experiences and feelings in relationship to work and life in the missions.

- We are a bilingual group called to accompany the Latino people in our community through an integrated evangelism that includes both spiritual and material concerns. We seek to present the gospel through Bible study, personal testimonies, and concrete action in solidarity with the people's efforts to transfom their communities.

- We are committed to being channels of God's love by bringing church and community to our workplaces or "walking about." This may be on the street, in prison, with the elderly, the addicted, the homeless, or the stranger. Since we are as broken as all others, we prayerfully offer our grace-healed eyes to them

Through facilitating dafly noontime prayer in the Festival Center Chapel and encouraging the use of the Chapel throughout the day, inviting all who would like to corne, we stand in the presence of the Lord on behalf of all those unable to join us. Through these tinies together, we seek to be channels for the Holy Spirit to pervade the neighborhood, the city and the world. We also seek to raise up the significance of prayer in all our lives, through teaching classes at the School and sharing helpful imterials and approaches.
