Our Values

Constant... passionate....core beliefs that drive our ministry

Real is better than impressive.
Authenticity

We’d rather be honest than polished. We come as we truly are - with our doubts, struggles, and stories - trusting that Jesus meets us fully in our authenticity, not our image.


“Each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all

members of one body.”

Ephesians 4:25 (NIV)

Formation over performance.
Spiritual Growth

Spiritual activity isn’t the same as spiritual maturity. We’re not performing for God -we’re seeking to be more like Him. Faith isn’t static. Whether you’re just at the beginning or you’ve followed Jesus for many years, we believe there’s always a next step in how our faith expresses itself.


“Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”

Romans 12:2 (NIV)

Family isn’t a metaphor
Community

We don’t attend church - we belong to each other. We eat together, laughs together, cry together, pray together, and grow together.


“Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.”

1 Corinthians 12:27 (NIV)


“They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts.”

Acts 2:46 (NIV)

Lost people matter to God
Evangelism

Church isn’t just for us. We exist to bless the people around us - especially the hurting, the overlooked, and the outsiders.


“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Luke 19:10 (NIV)


“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”

Matthew 28:19 (ESV)

We are big thinking, Spirit dependent, risk-takers.
Faith

We’ll never insult God with small thinking and safe living. Vision that’s easily attainable ceases to be vision - it’s task. So together we set our sites out of reach and trust God to answer in a mighty way when we are in His will.


“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”

Ephesians 3:20 (NIV)

Out of our hearts we give our time, talents, and treasure.
Generosity

We truly believe it is more blessed to give than receive and we’re called to give in ways that confound the world. Financially, time wise, skill wise.


“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”

2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)


“It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

Acts 20:35 (NIV)

We shape our lives, thoughts, and hearts around God’s Word and God’s Word only.
Scripture

We believe scripture is alive, active, and transformational. It doesn’t just teach us. It changes us! God’s Word offers truths that clarify who we are, motivate us towards action, and invites us into a bigger story. We lean on scripture as our steady foundation and our energizing call to a deeper, purposeful life. The Gospel that’s preached will make the disciples you get.


“All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in

righteousness.”

2 Timothy 3:16 (NIV)


“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

Psalm 119:105 (NIV)
