values

To be effective emissaries of Christ, our church stands behind certain values. We work to preserve these values and instill them in our children.

As a community we promote opportunities for people of all walks of lfe to engage in their journey of faith. We recognize that faith is a life-long journey and desire to walk with people as they pursue God. Through God's creative Spirit, lively worship, thoughtful small groups, and compassionate outreach we experience change, growth, and newness together.

We believe that all people are created in God’s image. You are welcomed and loved for who you are and invited to worship and celebrate God with us.

We are passionately in love with serving God by serving people who are in need in our community and all over the world. We believe Jesus called us to serve those who are oppressed, those who lack food or clothing, or are just in need of God’s love. In serving others we serve a loving God who has compelled us to move towards others as He has moved toward us.

We believe in God’s compassion and that our personal brokenness and inability to prevail, as well as the world’s brokenness and inability to heal itself is overcome by God’s grace. Jesus Christ has sacrificially taken on the weight and cost of our sin and the world’s brokenness. We believe that God is love and that the only viable answer to brokenness is God’s love and grace in Jesus. We seek daily to live out this love and grace in our character and in our personal interactions with others.

God has created each of us to live in relationship with God and with other people. We deeply value loving, honest, and open relationships with one another. Together we share our pain and brokenness as well as our joys, and Christ’s presence opens the door to wholeness. We believe this is an essential part of all our ministries and is woven throughout them.
