When people ask what kind of church this is, our response is: we are a Jesus church. 

We exist by Him and for Him.

We read Scripture as one unified story that points to Him.

We see spiritual growth as the pursuit of becoming like Him and bold faith as the byproduct of being with Him.

Our goal is not to get people to church, our goal is for people to meet Jesus.

We value creativity because it points us back to the Creator of all.

We believe that beauty is compelling and intentionality communicates value.

We create welcoming spaces and leave environments better than we found them.

We believe attention is finite, so we are thoughtful in what we give our time and resources to.

In all our efforts, we want to preview what the kingdom of God is like.

The church is more than a service you attend, it’s a family to which you belong.

As a family, we embody 1 Thessalonians 2:8 and share not only the gospel, but our own lives as well.

We learn names, share stories, and form deep relationships.

We ask for help when we need it and offer it when we can.

We carry each other's burdens because we believe our love for one another is a bold witness to our community.

We believe the story we are a part of is bigger than the role we play. And since we are a church where Jesus is central, we already know that it’s not about “me.”

We celebrate others whenever we can, and don’t worry about getting credit ourselves.

We lean on other people, because we recognize they bring something we don’t.

We seek to collaborate with others in our city who are doing good work because we see ourselves as part of the same mission and team.

We squash gossip and division, nationalism or favoritism. Anything that fractures “we” into “us vs them.”

We seek unity, even when we disagree, and we are quick to apologize or reconcile when we get things wrong.

When it comes to serving God and people, we want to leave obligation in the dust.

We don't serve because we "should" or "ought to" — we serve because we may.

When we were dead in our sins, Jesus rescued us and brought us back to life. Now we are invited back into that rescuing work. So we show up with joy, humility, and gratitude.

We don't ask how little we can do — we leverage everything we have for the kingdom.

We make it a priority to be secretly awesome: blessing people simply because we can.

Discipleship for us is about more than information; it is about formation.

We practice a Rule of Life that is centered around abiding.

We take a holistic approach to serving; combining good news with good works.

We see wellbeing as a core value and strategy. Good stewardship in all of life.

Jesus' mission is to save sinners, but his strategy is to eat with them.

In a similar way, we want to open our lives to the people around us. Noticing needs, and engaging with sacrificial compassion.

We want to reflect the community in which we live, and make it known that everyone is welcome at the table.

We will seek to intentionally bless the vulnerable + oppressed and to be apart of the restorative work God is doing in all the earth.

We want to see strangers become neighbors and neighbors become the family of God.
