Open Acceptance

We welcome and love all people, especially people who haven’t seen the Holy Spirit bring them to faith in Jesus. We hope that everyone who comes into contact with us experiences the welcoming open arms of their heavenly Father.

Life Change

We believe that God has the power to really and truly change us when we cannot change ourselves. Sometimes dramatically, sometimes subtly and gradually, God is always transforming us into the people he created us to be.

Authenticity/Humility/Teachability

Although we strive to live honest, transparent lives as we share both our joys and our struggles, we realize on our best day only through God's grace we will be admitted into heaven. We realize that none of us have “arrived” and all of us need to grow. If we remain teachable, we know that God will help us learn from each other. There is no reason to wear a mask in the life of the Christian community.

Spiritual Faithfulness

Although we uphold the Bible as God’s Word that fully shows us the truth about Jesus Christ and teaches us how to live in a way that honors him. We also want to learn from the Christ-followers who have made this journey ahead of us.

Personal Responsibility

We recognize that each person must take responsibility for their own growth, so we encourage everyone to grow one step at a time. No arm-twisting or guilt trips allowed.

Servanthood

We willingly pour out our lives in service to others, following Jesus’ example of servant leadership. We firmly believe that God has gifted and called everyone to serve others.

Creativity

We encourage imagination and initiative in all areas of ministry, always looking for new and better ways to communicate the unchanging good news of Jesus Christ to our friends and neighbors.

Flexibility

While our mission and values don’t change, the way we live them out will always be changing. We love challenges, because they give us an opportunity to try something new.
