I don't know if we've ever met, but there are two things about you that I'm sure of. First, you are an unrepeatable miracle of God endowed with extraordinary gifts in and through the person of Jesus who's at work in your life. Second, along with the abundance of your gifts comes a mission. Life at its best is life given away!

So, here's my invitation to you in this space:

Dive in, explore, discover the extraordinary opportunities to give life away shoulder-to-shoulder with others here at University Presbyterian Church and in partnership with the leaders of our partner ministries serving in neighborhoods across Seattle, and in distant places around the world. Then commit, take the plunge, invest yourself! In Jesus Christ, you've got what it takes! Your life matters. Spend yourself on behalf of others. If you have any questions or confusion about any of that, come see me personally.
