Our Mission & Vision
LJQE is a spiritual and intellectual institution committed to empowering Christians to cultivate a faith that is both deeply rooted in the love of Jesus and courageously engaged with the complexities of our world. We champion the pursuit of truth through critical inquiry, the practice of justice informed by biblical principles, and the building of a compassionate community dedicated to transformative action.
We envision a world where faith inspires profound love, thoughtful engagement, and unwavering advocacy for the vulnerable and marginalized, reflecting the heart of Christ in every sphere of life.
Our Core Beliefs
At LJQE, our convictions guide our work and our community. We affirm:

The Centrality of Jesus Christ: His life, teachings, death, and resurrection as the foundation of our faith and practice.
-
The Authority of Scripture: The Bible as the inspired word of God, providing guidance for faith, ethics, and transformative living, understood through thoughtful interpretation and Spirit-led discernment.
-
The Call to Holistic Justice: A commitment to embodying God's concern for justice, righteousness, and compassion, particularly for the poor, oppressed, and marginalized.
-
The Importance of Critical Inquiry: The value of asking questions, wrestling with doubts, and engaging diverse perspectives as essential components of a mature and robust faith.
-
The Power of Community: The necessity of fellowship, mutual support, and collective action in living out our faith and impacting the world.
-
Love as the Guiding Ethic: Unconditional love for God and neighbor as the ultimate expression of our devotion to Christ.
