To LEad people who are searching for something more into a Life-changing relationship with Jesus

Values

Gracious Acceptance 

Having experienced God's love, our challenge is to extend gracious acceptance to the people God brings into our lives. It is our desire to follow the example of Jesus who walked past cultural, relational and religious boundaries to graciously accept people very different from him.

Healthy Relationships

We are designed for relationship. Unfortunately, our life experience is filled with unhealthy relating patterns and shattered relationships. We are committed to cultivating healthy, growing relationships that balance grace and truth.

Purposeful Serving

Every believer brings something to the body of Christ that no one else is able to offer. We are committed to exploring God’s unique design for every individual based upon their God-given gifts, helping each to express their purpose by serving others inside and outside the local church.

Intentional Rhythms

From the changing of the seasons to the beating of a heart, all life exists with rhythm. God’s design for us is to incorporate rhythms of silence, time with him, activity and engagement, and then rest through Sabbath.

Forward Movement

Forward movement in our faith journey often requires us to pause and look back, processing life as we have experienced it. Looking backward allows God to give us clarity about the larger story that he is writing through us, enabling us to move forward and live out the purpose he has for us.

What we believe

THE BIBLE

The Bible

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God written by human authors under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the ultimate source of truth for Christian belief and living. The Bible is true and without error in the original manuscripts. God has preserved his word through the centuries for us today.

GOD

God

We believe in one God who is the Creator and Ruler of the Universe. He has eternally existed in a loving unity of three equally distinct persons: the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Having limitless knowledge and sovereign power, God has graciously purposed from eternity to redeem a people for Himself and to make all things new for His glory.

JESUS CHRIST

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus is the second member of the Trinity (the Son of God). He was conceived through the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He revealed God to humanity as he lived a sinless life. He was crucified to become the Savior of the world. He rose bodily from the dead and sits at the right hand of God the Father as our Advocate.

HOLY SPIRIT

Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit is the third member of the Trinity. He convicts the people of their guilt, transforms the lives of those who admit their sinfulness, and places them as heirs in the family of God. He lives with, directs, encourages, and empowers Christ followers to become more like Jesus.

HUMANITY

Humanity

We believe God created all people in his image, with the desire to have a relationship with mankind but because of sinful disobedience, all people have become alienated in that relationship. As a result, we are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through our own efforts.

SALVATION

Salvation

We believe because of our sinful nature we all fall short of God’s perfect standard. God solved this problem by sending his Son, Jesus, to pay the penalty for the sins of humanity. Those who trust in Jesus’ payment for their sins are forgiven and receive eternal life as a free gift from God.

THE CHURCH

The Church

We believe the church to be symbolically described in the Bible as the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are all people who have trusted in Jesus for the forgiveness of their sins. The purpose of the church is to give him glory by loving him fully and making him known to the lost world.
