We love the Lord with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength. We are created for relationship with God. Jesus is the centerpiece of everything we do and the end goal of all of our efforts. He is the passion of our lives, and through His cross, death, and resurrection, we believe we are made alive to a new life with God. Everything flows from intimacy with him. We confess Jesus as Lord and Savior over our world and our lives. He is above all things and before all things.
As disciples of Jesus, we are committed to learning and practicing his ways for the renewal of all things. We take seriously the call to be with Him, become like Him, and do the things that He did. We take seriously the call to become disciples of Jesus, seeking to frame our lives intentionally around His life and ministry.
We are unashamedly a people who pursue the transformative power of God in our lives. We seek to live a life in the power of the Holy Spirit. We worship, listen, obey, and live empowered by The Holy Spirit within us. It is The Holy Spirit that sustains our church, so we do everything with audacious expectancy that God will show up. We embrace the gifts and ministry of the Spirit to equip the church for fruitful missional engagement. We seek to be a people of God’s manifest presence, so that many may say, “Surely God is among them.”
We are pursuing more than an exchange of information we want an encounter with the living God who transforms our lives. We live with a disruptive devotion in a moment of apathy. We pursue and expect to encounter the God who ministers within any moment. We long for the Lord to interrupt our assumptions, disrupt our routine, shake up where we have settled, and confront our idols.
We structure everything that we do around the word of God. We are committed to becoming biblically literate so that we live biblically faithful lives. The Bible is central to the way we structure our lives and community. We contextualize our message and ministry by holding ourselves accountable through submission to the scriptures and adherence to church history. We hold to the historic faith with joy, boldness, and confidence in a time of widespread theological and ethical compromise.
We leave old boundaries of family for the We refuse to settle for comfortable living, cultural Christianity, or compromise for the sake of temporal fame. We are pursuing a move of God in our lives, revival in our church, and spiritual awakening in our city. We carry a passion for the lost, and a willingness to contend in prayer and labor in obedience until heaven touches earth. We hold firmly to the reality that God’s Kingdom is extending from heaven to earth through everything that we do. Risk, boldness, and love so that move our lives toward the lost and bring the lost toward Jesus.
We acknowledge the unique nature of our context and we creatively engage with secular culture as a counter-formative presence. We preach the Gospel in a way that deconstructs cultural idols and proclaims the Gospel as the fulfillment of all personal and existential longings in our cultural moment. We seek creative missional expression and ecclesiology that fit the context and reach the lost.
We are committed to running with others as we run towards the world with love. We leave our old boundaries of family for the new multicultural, multiracial, and multigenerational family of God. Jesus came to establish the new family of God marked by love, honor, self-control, responsibility, truth, and faith. We desire for our family to be marked by warmth, openness, and kindness. Jesus said to be known by our love, so we love well.
