OUR MISSION

To help people love God, others, and themselves.

OUR CORE VALUES

Because Jesus is at the heart of everything we believe and do, we will commit to being a community rooted in and formed by his incarnation, life, death, and resurrection.

Centrality of Christ

Because God exists in community (Trinity) and created us in his image, we grow in our ability to receive and show love for God, others, and ourselves as we worship, learn, serve, and heal in community.

Community

Understanding that we are imperfect people seeking a relationship with a perfect God, we hold to the historic Christian faith while remaining open to the diverse interpretations of scripture within the body of Christ.

Generous Orthodoxy

Our desire is to search deeply for the truth in Scripture while learning from various traditions and practices because of the common grace found in those who pursue God.

Deep & Wide Formation

We are a people made in the image of a generous God. We believe that every good gift we have we received from Him. The reason he gives us so much is that we would share with others.
