So many of us have abdicated our passions for obligations, as if passion is a luxury for the young, and we must all grow up one day.

The Church is not segregated by region or cities. That's an antiquated view of the world. We are united with churches all over the world working toward common goals based on shared values. Mosaic is one of the most racially diverse churches on the planet. Our community and extended Church family is global and completely integrated.
