Lumina is committed to loving like Jesus and partnering with the Spirit in affirming the meaning and purpose of lives touched by dementia. We tell a powerful counter story of God’s creation in which cognitive changes do not separate us from God’s love, nor dismiss our ongoing vocation as human beings.

No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:39 NLT
