Core Values
Every Person has Infinite Worth
We recognize our own weakness and failure, and are humbled by the compassion of Jesus who loves us in spite of our mistakes. In this humility, we will listen without judgment, love without boundaries, and extend help and welcome to everyone regardless of where they are on this journey of faith.
John 15:12
Life Change Happens in Community
Belonging to, being cared for and held accountable by a group of people with a shared commitment to serve Jesus Christ is critical to our spiritual journey. We believe the support, unity and friendship developed in small groups helps us grow from a gathered crowd into a healthy community.
John 17:20-26
Service is a Way of Life
Service is a passion, not a project. We believe each person is uniquely gifted to serve and can use those gifts as an expression of worship both in our church and in the community around us each day.
Ephesians 2:10
Changed Lives Change Lives
Our church will empower, not control. We are committed to creating relevant, accessible opportunities conducive to the work of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of people -- environments that will help each person discover their unique strengths and abilities, and equip them to participate in the work of God in their own spheres of influence.
1 Peter 2:9
Intentional Apprenticing
We believe leadership development is vital to the health of our church and the exponential reach of the Gospel. Every member of our community is responsible for developing others’ knowledge, skills and gifts for service to God.
2 Timothy 2:2
Celebrating Generosity
We are committed to giving freely, cheerfully and extravagantly to the work of God in our church, city and world. We believe that giving sacrificially honors the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, and demonstrates His love to those in need.
Matthew 6:24
God’s Plans Trump Ours
We will practice thoughtful planning and careful preparation for our services, events, and programs, but we will not get so caught up in our own agenda that we miss opportunities for the Spirit of God to work in surprising and spontaneous ways.
Matthew 9:14-17
