Revelation

We love the Bible and constantly strive to apply it to our lives.  We also believe that the Bible is applicable for today and that god speaks to us through the Holy Spirit by illuminating the Scriptures and giving spiritual gifts.  (2Tim. 3:16, Hebrews 4:12, James 1:22)

Worship

We worship God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit through God-centered, culture-current and participatory worship.  Although musical worship is our primary vehicle, we also worship God through service, time, gifts, wisdom, skills, and money.  We will give in order to bless others and to worship God.  We believe that we’re only completely being Jesus’ church when we are serving someone to show God’s love in a practical way.
 

Prayer

We believe that prayer is simply conversation between us and God and therefore is a gracious gift of intimacy.  We actively pray in order to get to know Him better so that we will depend on God and not ourselves.  We commit to praying for those around us and for all of their needs; spiritual, emotional, and physical healing.  We believe that through prayer, God changes the course of human history.
 

Community

We place high value on the relationship with our God and with each other.  We believe that being real with each other and with God fosters unity, creates life, and tears down barriers between people.  We believe that it is in our relationships with others that we fully become who we are created by God to be, and God is in the business of changing our character for His benefit.  This process of living should be fun!  We celebrate that Jesus says He came so that we could have “abundant, eternal life.”  We get joy by seeing God transform and restore peoples’ lives, and being with joyful people is fun!
 

Growth

We believe that we are called to apprentice our lives to Jesus, following Him as the way to the Father, absolute truth, and abundant life.  We will equip each individual by helping them to become what God has created them to be.  We aim to mentor, apprentice, train and release Christians to serve in their field of ministry by way of mentoring relationships and small groups.  We highly value the freedom that Jesus brings us as we follow the way of the Cross, constantly focused on our relationship with Him and becoming who He wants us to be.  We will specifically develop leaders to plant churches throughout the world. (John 8:31-32)
 

Grace & Mercy

We love that Jesus’ life demonstrated the Father’s grace (His undeserved blessing and favor) and mercy (His loving compassion and forgiveness) to all who receive Him.  We celebrate this display of the Father’s heart for us by extending grace and mercy to everyone.  No judgment of character?
