Through corporate worship, Biblical instruction, and mutual
Edification-to do the work of the ministry with zeal to proclaim God's truth in Love, both here in our own community, and around the world.
We value growing into loving relationships: ours with God and ours with others…all others. No matter who you are, no matter where you have been, if you are trying to figure out how to connect with God and with other people, this is the place to discover how much God loves you and how you can grow in your love for God and others. We gather here to grow together in our ability to live out a life of unity in truth and love.
(Mark 12:28-34, Deuteronomy 6:4-9, Romans 3:21-24, Ephesians 2:13-18 & 4:15)
We value growing in our ability to offer everyone grace and mercy out of the exceeding abundance of both that we are being offered in and through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. No one who attends here is flawless when it comes to interacting with God or with others. We do not seek perfect people here, only those with a desire to grow together in our ability to release the power of forgiving kindness that Christ gives to us.
(1 John 4:9-12, Romans 5:8 &8:11, Isaiah 64:6, John 17, Mark 2:17, John 13:35)
We value growing our acts of generosity and service. There is no better way to reveal the reality of a God who cares enough for people to come to earth and give Himself selflessly and completely than to do likewise for others. Jesus gave His life to meet our spiritual, physical, emotional and mental needs. Together: we are growing our opportunities to participate with God in meeting the needs of others in Jesus' name.
(Luke 4:16-21, 7:18-22, Acts 1:8 & 2:42-47, 1 Peter 2:21)
We value growing our participation in a life fully lived as demonstrated by the life of Jesus Christ and transformed by the Word of God. We agree that in following the wisdom on full display in Jesus and in the Bible, we can become the people God created us to be. We are learning to walk away from the self directed life. In and by our faith, together we are ever growing in tune with the Spirit directed life because it is the life that absolutely nothing can destroy.
(Luke 4:22, Romans 8:11, 1 Corinthians 15:17, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, John 16:33, Acts 2:24)
