Our Beliefs & Values
Inclusion
Luminous Parish is centered around the reconciling table of Jesus. Since Jesus excludes no one, neither do we. So, regardless of your ethnicity, marital status, gender, or sexual orientation, all people of good will are invited to participate fully in our life of faith and service.
“Beauty is one of God’s names.”
-St. Gregory of Nyssa
Mission
Learning to be still, live fully, and reflect the Great Light of the world.
As a space of rest, peace, and spiritual wellness, we desire to cooperate with God in the transformation of our souls.
Luminous works toward a healthy anthropology. The Gospel is not a competing idea. It’s that by which we see all ideas in proper context. Jesus has given us the ideal eyes by which to see the true nature of reality. As St. John of the Cross insists, God refuses to be known except by love. In this light, we acknowledge that the cruciform life is the Way of Jesus.
