At Mayflower, we feel called to become catalysts for justice through communion with God, education, and action. We strive towards God’s dream of peace and abundance for all people, seeking to be both transformed and transformational. This mission informs all areas of our life together, including how we witness, organize, serve our neighbors, and give for the common good.
