Vision
To offer a fresh and new way of living the Christian faith from full communion with the Church, and obedience to our bishops. We want to live a fresh version of Christianity, and be as focused on the essential as possible. This model is based on 4 pillars: the experience of conversion, personal growth, life in community with others, and constant dialogue with the society around us.
Mision
To help develop mature Christians with an authentic experience of faith and who are at the same time free, full, and as happy as they can be. “Living from the truth” is our foundation, and we invest a lot of time and resources in people. We want to bring the Good News of Jesus to the whole world and we also try to help those who suffer and need it in any way possible and with all available means.
Our Values
Good News
Christianity must be Good News, not bad news. In other words, it must help people to achieve the best version of themselves.
The person
The individual, the human person, is the most important thing. No project, no matter how holy, is above the men and women who form it.
Living in truth
It is essential to live from the truth. Whether your reality is big or small, good or bad, truth is the beginning of holiness and growth.
Community-Church
Concrete communities are essential, but they are nothing without the Church. This is always the ultimate reference of identity.

History
Fe y Vida began as a result of the gathering that Josué held with high school students in the 90s. Josué’s faith experience was strongly influenced by the Jesus People movement in the United States, while also remaining faithful to Catholic doctrine. Throughout our history we have had a great number of relationships with Christians of very diverse orientations, which has given us a rich and open experience. Thus, elements such as a pioneering-spirit, ecumenical vocation (within and outside the Church) and a personalist approach have shaped our identity.
Currently Fe y Vida is a Public Association of the Faithful approved by the dioceses of Granada and Santander (Spain). It also belongs to the European Network of Communities.
