| Asbury is an inclusive, open-minded, justice-seeking Christian ministry at Drexel, striving to live out what Jesus called the two greatest commandments: loving God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength, and loving our neighbors as ourselves.
To that end we value authentic relationship over rigid dogma, working to build a community of mutual care and respect where we are free to be our whole selves--all that God has created and is creating us to be. And a place where--in relationship with God and each other--we are nurtured and challenged to grow toward the fullness of life which is our calling, and to explore together what it means to follow Jesus.
We believe the journey of faith is both inward and outward, personal and social; personal in the ways we relate to God and experience God's presence in our lives; social in the ways we reflect God's love for ALL people and ALL of creation, moving as Jesus did beyond token acts of charity to ongoing work for justice and peace in our own communities and throughout the world.
Through WORSHIP, STUDY, PRAYER, FELLOWSHIP, SERVICE and SOCIAL ACTION, we seek to deepen our understanding and practice of spirituality and the Christian life.
'I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full .’
-Jesus (John 10:10)
'Spirituality means…living the ordinary life extraordinarily well.
As the old church father said,
‘The glory of God is a human being fully alive.’
-William Sloane Coffin
