What We Believe
MISSION
To live out God's Better Story through Jesus
Unlike what the world offers, it is the account of a Good and Righteous God who offers us life and blessing through Jesus.
Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness; they will sing with joy about your righteousness.
(Psalm 145:7)
Motto
Loving, Following, and Sharing Jesus
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
(Matthew 28:19-20)
VISION
To see our neighbors and the nations live out
God’s Better Story through Jesus
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."
(Matthew 16:24)
Key Values
PRAY FIRST — because when we pray, God works.
Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working."
(John 5:17)
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
(Ephesians 6:18)
GOSPEL DNA
—
because every person needs Jesus.
We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well…
(1 Thessalonians 2:8)
BIBLICAL WORLDVIEW — because biblical truth reveals God’s better story for our lives.
Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
(John 17:17)
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
(Hebrews 4:12)
AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY — because change happens best in community; “we” before “me.”
And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another — and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
(Hebrews 10:24-25)
NEXT GENERATION — because we are called to entrust the faith to those who come after us.
We will not hide them from their children; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done.
(Psalm 78:4)
ACTIVE GENEROSITY — because we prove our faith by the way we give and serve.
Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
(1 Timothy 6:18-19)
