i2U Vision
At Sherwood Oaks, we dream of a hopeful community that lives beyond itself. Our desire is that all people, from the spiritually unsure to the spiritually mature, find purpose as they live like Jesus: loving the unloved, serving the underserved and living out God’s plan in relevant and practical ways. This is our mission, our vision, our hope.
To us, providing hope is about God’s power to transform lives…
from seeking to finding,
from getting to giving,
from Sundays to always,
from inward to outward,
from “I-centered” to “YOU-centered,”
...from i2U.
