Our Mission
Our great hope is in the true story of God’s amazing grace. As we walk together, grace continually forms our lives, our families, our neighbors, our city, and our world. Grace Changes Everything.
Our Values
The Lord has called us together from different places and backgrounds to be one people who share a common story of being loved and redeemed by Jesus Christ, a common identity as God’s beloved children, and a common dependence on the Holy Spirit as every member endeavors to use their unique gifts to love and serve God and each other for the advancement of His Kingdom.
As a church, we believe the Lord is calling us to be:
A People Shaped by Grace
It is by grace that we are set free to be who God has made us to be, and to show grace to one another. God’s grace enables us to be honest about our imperfections, a people without pretense, and to forgive as we have been forgiven through Christ. We want to provide a home for sufferers and sinners (like us) who are coming to know the heart of Christ more and more.
A People Known for Love
Jesus said to His disciples that, above all, they were to be known by their love for one another. We endeavor to be a humble, self-forgetful people, willing to lay down our own interests and lives for the benefit of others. We seek to be a people who see every individual compassionately, uniquely created by God in His image.
A People Committed to Truth
In a world of ever-changing “truth,” we are dedicated to the unchanging truths of God’s Word, which are breathed by God and remain timelessly relevant and impactful. We seek to rightly understand and interpret the Scriptures, and apply them to all of life.
A People Cultivating Belonging
In a world in which isolation and loneliness are often the sad reality, we seek to connect people to God, and to the story of what He’s done and is doing in our world, creating for Himself a people who belong to Him and belong to one another. We hope that everyone who engages in our community – children and adults of all ages, abilities, cultures, and backgrounds – will experience being truly known and deeply loved by the Lord and one another. We pray that our differences will be valued and celebrated.
A People Relying on Prayer
We are learning to rely less on ourselves and more on the Lord, His wisdom, power, and love. We confess our need for the Lord to be at work in and through us, not just in desperate times but all the time. God is alive, active, and interested in everything we do, so we talk to Him about everything.
A People Living on Mission
We desire to live with purpose, not for our name, but for His name to be glorified. We desire to compassionately love and serve our city and the surrounding areas in such a way that people would miss us if we were not here. We love to collaborate with other churches and organizations who are seeking to do good in our city with the common purpose of blessing its people. We want to join the Lord on His mission in the world.
