Our mission: (purpose, why we exist)

love God, love people

Our vision:

lives changed by God
with grace
in community
through serving

with grace:

We will help people find their way to God by sharing the grace and truth of Jesus through prayer, actions, and gentle words. Grace will be a way of life. Nobody is perfect. Period. We’re about authenticity, not image. Transformation doesn’t end; neither does grace. We want our lives to be a great story of God at work.

in community:

The church will be made up of small groups that share life, study the Bible, and serve. We welcome all people—all ages, races, and stages of faith. We will reproduce small groups, worship services, and churches. Simple programming will allow time for relationships. We will encourage the best in each other, to help each other become more like Jesus.

through serving:

We will be in the needy and broken places. We will serve with impact. We will live simply so others can simply live. We will go into our communities more than come to the church building. We will act globally, especially where the story of Jesus has not been told. We will measure success by transformed lives and transformed communities, here and around the world.

Our basic beliefs: (non-negotiable matters of faith)

There is one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The Bible is the Word of God.

Sin is the human problem.

Jesus is our only hope.
