The Vision
Our vision is to be an inviting community of Jesus followers commissioned by the Gospel to make disciples by cultivating relationships that reflect the love of Christ.
Values
Followers Not Fans
The call of Jesus is to “follow me” – not just to watch from the sidelines. This invitation into a transformational relationship begins with receiving the grace and forgiveness of God, and then choosing to put into practice what Jesus said, living in the way he modeled for us to live. Fans wear the jersey and cheer from a distance, but followers are close enough and active enough to have the dust of their rabbi upon them as they follow after Him.
Life-Giving Love
We seek to be a people who cultivate all of our relationships with the love of Christ; a love that changes us from the inside out. In response, we not only love Him back, but that love overflows to those around us transforming our relationships, homes, neighborhoods, city, and world.
Transformational Community
Authentic, personal transformation happens best within the connections of a gospel-centered community. We seek to foster deep relationships that truly walk alongside one another through this life’s journey and live out the “one anothers” of Scripture within our community. These relationships call you forward in faith and further into Christ’s truth and example.
Active Agents
As people who have been rescued by God’s grace, it is our calling to live empowered by His Spirit to bring the hope of Jesus wherever we go, living as active agents for God and His good in the world. That’s why we say, “Do for one what you wish you could do for everyone.”
Progress Over Perfection
If you’re not dead, you’re not done. Each of us should be compelled by the grace of the Gospel to continually take next steps of development as followers of Jesus. It’s not about perfection – it’s about continual progress in the entirety of our life and to represent Jesus well on the earth.
Life As Worship
We live from the truth that God is greater than all things, and He alone is worthy of our highest adoration and praise. We believe worship anchors us to the only One who is immovable in a culture of chaos. We spur one another on to be a people who live our lives to honor God in all we say and do as our greatest act of worship.
Intentionally Inviting
The Gospel of Jesus is an invitation to “come and see”. As a church we seek to continually invite others closer to Jesus, into community, and to move forward in faith. We prayerfully and winsomely live so we can earn the right to invite. We aim for excellence in all we do as a church so that God is honored and the Holy Spirit is free to move, where no one is embarrassed to invite a friend.
