Our mission is to invite our neighbors into life with Jesus.
Invite: We believe the mission of God is something we’re invited into. It’s relational language, not built on guilt or obligation but grace and opportunity. Jesus invited us in, and we consider it an honor to extend that invitation to others.
Neighbors: We desire to love the people around us in such a way that we see strangers become neighbors and neighbors become the family of God.
Life with Jesus: We believe that following Jesus means stepping into His way of life. This is more than intellectual belief; it’s a lifelong journey of being formed into His image and becoming like Him. We do this not just for Him, but with him.

Our Values
-
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 ultimately not to get people to church, our goal is for people to meet Jesus.
-
We believe that 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 Jesus church, 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 others because we recognize they carry gifts and perspectives we do not. We collaborate with others who are doing good work because we see ourselves as part of the same mission and team. We reject gossip, favoritism, and anything that fractures “we” into “us versus them.” We seek unity, even when we disagree, and we are quick to apologize or reconcile when we get things wrong. We show honor and walk in humility because we believe We>Me.
-
We don’t just have a vision for our church to flourish; we have a vision for our community to flourish. Our church’s mission is part of God’s grand mission to renew the whole world. We are passionate about loving our neighbors, serving the marginalized, and caring for the hurting. We will leverage our resources, give our time, and push past our comfort zones to see the lost found and heaven touch earth.
-
We believe that everything we have comes from a generous God who has entrusted us with resources to use for the good of others. We hold our money, possessions, time, attention, influence, and abilities with open hands. We notice needs, share what we have, and consider not how little we must give, but how much we are able. We are generous because God has been overwhelmingly generous to us.
-
We believe that intentionality communicates value. So we don't do anything halfway. We give thought to our words, our spaces, our language, and our gatherings, not to impress people, but because creativity and beauty are themselves a form of worship and a witness to who God is.
-
We believe that work and rest are God’s ideas, so we work hard and rest well. We embrace our limits, laugh a lot, and trust God’s timing and provision. We believe Sabbath is resistance, recreation is restorative, and health matters. We are not inviting people just to believe the truth about Jesus, but to embrace His lifestyle.
-
Worship is more than the songs we sing; it is a life lived for the glory of God. We believe there is no part of life that is insignificant to Him. So we work hard, use our gifts, create beautiful things, and pursue justice for those who are overlooked and oppressed. Wherever we are and whatever we’re doing, we want to reflect the character of Jesus.
