Core Values

Truth – We believe that Jesus is truth, that he is the center piece of all human history and that He has revealed himself to us through his written word, the Bible.  It is only through Jesus that we can connect with God, and it is through Jesus that God has initiated a relationship with us. He is our Creator, our Sustainer, our Savior and our God.  He is the master of all things and the head and chief shepherd of the church. Therefore we will seek to know, live and proclaim truth out of our love for Jesus.

Relevance – We believe that the church must be culturally relevant and doctrinally pure, just as Paul contextualized the gospel to the people of Athens, we believe that we must contextualize the gospel in our culture.

Community – God exists as a perfect fellowship of Father, Son and Holy Spirit in eternal community. We believe that he has also created men and women to live in community with him and with each other.  Therefore we seek to sacrificially serve one another in authentic relationships that God uses to produce transformation in people’s lives.   

  
 

Diversity – God has created each person unique, with different talents, abilities, personalities, hopes, and dreams.  As a church we embrace this diversity and inspire to foster unity among the diverse ethnicities and cultural expressions found in our community.

Beauty - God is beautiful. His creation reflects his beauty. Men and women are created in the image of God and are endowed with gifts and talents that can reflect God’s beauty. Therefore, we will value individuals and their works of beauty through the arts, using spiritual gifts and talents.

Mission– We believe that God wants to see our city transformed by the power of the gospel.  He desires to send the church into the world as missionaries who transform the city.  We are committed to being used by God to engage the culture by loving and serving people like Jesus did. Therefore, we embrace change and risk-taking over tradition and the status quo.  We believe that a healthy church must constantly change in order to adapt to the ever-changing culture in which it exists and must place itself in a position where it is absolutely dependent on God coming through to avoid looking like complete fools.  We believe God is in the business of transformation, he transforms people through the gospel, and he transforms communities through his people.

Reproduction – We believe that healthy churches reproduce in 4 ways, disciples reproduce disciples, leaders reproduce leaders, groups reproduce groups and churches reproduce churches.
