Much like the chicken and egg metaphor, where it’s not clear which of the two should be considered the cause or the effect, a similar relationship exists between Northshore and Community. The Northshore community is rich in support and diversity, and it is also grounded in love and compassion. God calls us to live in fellowship and to love one another, and to this end, Northshore is active in creating the environment and opportunities for the community to flourish.

Courage is not simply the absence of fear, but rather the ability to face fears and challenges. Courage is bravery, but it is also being persistent or strong. Courage is seeking and holding on to Truth. Courage is doing what is right, not what is popular or easy. Courage takes commitment, sacrifice and integrity.

This pursuit of ‘Truth’ is not only vital for intellectual growth, but also for the development of character and the ability to make informed decisions in an ethical and responsible manner. Truth seeking involves critical thinking, evidence-based reasoning, and a willingness to question assumptions and beliefs. Truth seekers must also have a willingness to consider different perspectives and evidence, even when it challenges our own beliefs.

Wisdom goes beyond the accumulation of knowledge or intelligence. It encompasses the ability to think critically, make wise judgments, and apply knowledge in meaningful and ethical ways. Wisdom involves understanding the complexity of situations, considering different and sometimes opposing perspectives and making ethical decisions. Wisdom requires a commitment to self-reflection, to lifelong learning, and a humble recognition of our limitations. By cultivating wisdom, we can better navigate the challenges of life, make sound judgments, and contribute positively to society.
