Authenticity: We believe that the church must desire and demonstrate authenticity – Church was never intended to be a place where it is threatening to be your true self. If there is any place in the world where you can be transparent without feeling threatened, it needs to be the church. Jesus demonstrated the value of transparency in his dealings with His own disciples.

At the same time, we believe this authenticity should also be characterized by sincerity of heart and humility. When Christians are in genuine community, instead of pretense and hypocrisy there is grace and truth. Masks come off, conversations go beyond the surface, hearts are vulnerable, accountability is invited, and people become a community in the truest sense of the word.

Relevance: We believe God is best seen when ministry is culturally relevant. We believe we are responsible to understand our times, the values, attitudes and needs of the community in which we live and minister. We champion relevance in our communication of a changeless Gospel. 

Relationships: We believe people are called to and made for loving relationships – People need close relationships where they can love and be loved, know and be known. In fact, it is in relating with others and participating in community that profound life-change takes place within the individual.

Creative Excellence:  We believe that creative excellence and quality must characterize everything we do. – 1 Corinthians 10:13 says, “Whatever you eat or drink or whatever you do, you must do all for the glory of God.” We believe that “good enough” is not good enough when it comes to honoring God through our ministry. In response to His holiness and greatness, and in gratitude for His grace and mercy, our aim is to offer to the Lord our very best in everything that we are called to do.

Worship: We believe that the Church exists to worship God. – “Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever.” We are called to honor and glorify God, seeing Him as the center of our lives, our church, and in all reality. We believe that the only object worthy of our praise is our Creator. We also believe that it is through this worship that we can know the profound and true joy that we were created to experience. Finally, worship is not simply a Sunday activity, but a life that we live in constant awareness of and in response to God’s mercy, greatness, and love (Romans 12:1). In this spirit, worship extends into every area of our life.

The Journey: We are committed to providing a safe place for people to discover what they believe about God and what God believes about them. Christ's Great Commission provides us with a clear directive—to be and make disciples. We are focused on providing opportunities for continuous growth for people in all stages of their spiritual journey in order that they may be guided toward spiritual maturity.
