God
We believe in the God of the Bible. He is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, three Persons in one Nature. He created everything. God is love. He is incredibly generous, present everywhere, never lacking power, full of patience and grace.
Jesus
More than just a man, Jesus is the Son of God in human flesh. He took our place when He died for us. When He rose from the dead, He defeated the power of death for us. Through a relationship with Him, we have life. He's incredible.
Faith
What a big word. There's a definition of it at the beginning of Hebrews 11 that goes like this "faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance in what we do not see". It's running blind. We move forward "blindly" by trusting something, discovering that it's true and then trusting it more. Through this kind of faith we believe that Jesus can change our lives.
Church
Humans were created to be together. In faith and unity, worshiping believers are called "the Church". Our purpose is to worship God, love one another, grow in faith and share the love of Jesus locally, nationally and internationally. Join us!
Bible
God had some things He wanted to explain about himself. To communicate these things He inspired some authors to write it down. The Bible is full of all kinds of different genres and perspectives that work together to paint a picture so beautiful you can stare at it your whole life. We trust it as an absolute authority that's alive because the Holy Spirit constantly brings new meaning and application.
Life
These bodies will die but the soul within doesn’t have to. When we live in a relationship with Jesus, His defeat of death is given to us as a gift. Broken relationships with God are repaired when we follow Jesus. In Him, life is better and death isn't final.
You
There's hidden potential inside you! It doesn't matter what you've done or where you've been, we see incredible days ahead. How? Jesus has done something crazy to every single one of us who follow Him in faith. It's a big leap but you should take it! We believe your greatest days are ahead. Let Jesus transform your life!
Purpose
"Why am I here?" It's one of the most important questions you will ever ask yourself. The Christian faith brings us enormous clarity regarding our purpose in life. We refer to it as "calling" because we aren't primarily self-driven, we are God-called. His calling a huge boost to confidence, peace and energy that goes into our every day.
Us
We all need to feel that we belong to something. God made us that way. In Genesis, he even said, "it's not good for man to be alone". Here's the good news: you belong. You don't need to prove anything or be someone different in order to join us. Even though we believe Jesus will change your life, you don't need to do any fixing or changing before you join us. You're invited. You belong.
Vision & Values
|
Alive Together In The Warmth of Jesus Christ Our vision statement points to our emphasis on transformational relationships and new life in Jesus Christ. We really care about the way God uses community and relationship to impact us. For this reason, "warmth" is a concept we love and use often. In a world that is often harsh and cold, Jesus calls the Church to be the warmest 'welcome home' on the planet. |
Love God. Love People. Learn Together. Love God. There is no greater aim in life than a loving relationship with God. His love for us is huge! We love because He loved us first! Love People. No matter who you are, what you've done, where you're coming from or where you're going, you are loved. Learn Together. There’s so much that we can uncover when we are curious and listen to one another. |
