About Us

The DEO STEN Alliance is dedicated to actively living out Christ’s teachings through practical, everyday actions that reflect love, humility, and service. By returning to the roots of early Christian teachings and exploring both the canonical Gospels and other early writings such as the Gospel of Thomas, we seek to cultivate a profound connection with the Divine.

Through this approach, we aim to foster inner transformation, build a just and compassionate community, and embody the Kingdom of God on Earth, guided by Christ’s radical message of love and unity.

​

The Alliance aims to develop collaborative and mutually supportive Christian communities where every individual is recognized as a valued and active member.

​

The vision of the DEO STEN Alliance is to provide a holistic space that nurtures spiritual, psychological, moral, and physical well-being by embodying the following qualities:

  • Sanctuary: A place of sacredness and spiritual protection, fostering connection with the Divine.

  • Haven: A secure and peaceful environment where individuals can find solace and healing.

  • Fortress: A source of strength and resilience, empowering members to face challenges with courage and unity.

  • Respite: A space for rest and renewal, offering relief from life’s burdens and challenges.

  • Retreat: A nurturing environment for reflection, spiritual growth, and personal discovery.

  • Shelter: A safe refuge that provides security and stability for all members.

  • Family: A close-knit community bound by love, trust, and mutual care.

  • Entr’aide: A spirit of mutual aid and support, where members share their talents and resources to uplift one another.

This vision reflects a profound commitment to creating a community that supports, uplifts, and inspires every individual, enabling them to thrive and deepen their connection with God and each other.

​

The Alliance’s core mission is to actively embody Christ’s teachings through practical, everyday actions, cultivating a profound and transformative connection with the Divine.

At its heart, this mission seeks to guide individuals toward an experience of deep oneness with God, achieved through the teachings and example of Christ.

By fully integrating Christ’s message, individuals and the community as a whole can manifest the Divine’s presence in all aspects of life, fostering a harmonious and sacred connection with the Source of all creation.
