Pursuing holiness is our passion because as we press into holiness, we draw near to God, who is holy, and as we draw near to God by His grace, mercy, and power, we begin to look like him. His word requires it of us and as we love Him with everything we start to demand it of ourselves. We pursue as a family because we are called for fellowship, to love, grow into spiritual maturity and provide mutual accountability for people with the same hunger after God with the desire to please Him and look like him.

Are you seeking deeper intimacy with God? In Phoebe Palmer on Holiness, author Ruth Conlon insightfully explores the extraordinary life of 19th-century female religious pioneer Phoebe Palmer. With scholarly care and spiritual depth, Conlon chronicles Palmer's dramatic spiritual encounter in which she felt called "to relinquish everything to God in absolute surrender." This transformative personal breakthrough subsequently sparked a nationwide movement as Palmer began hosting small gatherings focused on promoting the theological concept of "entire sanctification."
