Mile High Ministries

ibute to the vitality of their communities. Beginning with the felt-needs of people struggling with poverty, these faith-driven leaders serve as catalysts of holistic transformation. VALUES:

We are followers of Jesus from a variety of traditions. We value holistic transformation – spiritual, social, economic – of both people and places. Our place is the city: we value the city, both our own great city (Denver), and the larger reality of an urbanizing, globally-connected world. We affirm that every person, created in the image of God, has something worthwhile to contribute to the greater good. God’s transforming work is a reciprocal process and a shared journey. We delight in blurring the lines between those who give and those who receive. We value relationships, especially those that cross barriers of culture, ethnicity, economics and religious tradition. We value partnerships and collaboration, including with those whose worldviews may differ from ours, not only for strategic reasons but because collaboration contributes to the greater good of a healthy community. We are continually astonished by the depth of wisdom, goodness and grace at the bottom and edges of society, and in places of great pain. We value servant-leadership, expressed through lifestyles of generosity, peace, and self-emptying love. We are convinced that the best form of social criticism is the creative practice of something better.
