Christians living in community is an idea as old as the New Testament itself. The Acts of the Apostles describes the common life shared by the early Christians of Jerusalem. Following that tradition, each generation has brought forth its own fresh expression of a “common life” in which people join together to live out their discipleship in support of one another.

Members of the Community of Jesus come from a wide variety of denominational backgrounds and occupations, and include celibate Brothers and Sisters, and Families and Single Adults that live in privately owned homes surrounding the church.
