Vision & Values

Generosity  |    In the character of God, we discover a deep well of generosity. He is generous with his love, welcome, grace, mercy and provision.  We desire to reflect God’s character by being generous with the gifts God has given us, holding loosely and extravagantly giving, blessing and sharing what we have received.

Authenticity  |    Jesus welcomes people just as they are. We value authenticity and invite people to be real, bring genuine questions of faith and doubt, extend real friendship to one another and pursue God’s truth with grace.  We will remove any unnecessary obstacle that makes it difficult to be real, belong, believe and become the people God desires us to be.

Evangelism  |    Found people find people.  The Bible speaks to living life apart from God as being lost.  We believe that God loves us just as we are and too much for us to stay there. We desire to help people explore the question, “who is Jesus?”  The journey and discovery changes everything.  When we find this amazing gift of God’s love, we are called to share it with our family, community and the world.

Scripture  |    The Bible is God’s special revelation to humanity that we may know him, his love and plan for our lives.  We revere it, honor it and see our lives in the story of God.  Our community, life and rhythms of worship center around the Bible.  Through the Holy Spirit, the Bible shapes us, grows us, speaks to us and leads.

Discipleship  |    We are a community of people devoted to one another and to growing in our understanding of scripture so that we can become more the people God dreams us to be.  We will pursue Jesus, grow in the knowledge and grace of him and seek to help others grow in faith.  We will make disciples who make disciples.

Missional  |    We seek to take on a missional posture—joining God in bringing the good news of his love and invitation to new life in our community and the world.  This will lead us to develop new ministries in our community and come along side mission partners around the world. We will stay attentive to what God is doing and join in it.  Doing this will call us into our community, start new churches and send us into the world.

Restoration |    We believe that God can rewrite any story and restore wholeness to things that are broken.  We desire to participate in the change that God desires to see in the world by extending compassion and care to others, seeking justice and being open to God’s Spirit leading into places that need restoration.  Participating in God’s renewal of all things is a long journey and calling for those who follow the way of Jesus.
