Jesus

Jesus is our message, our mission, and our hope.

Everything we do flows from Him—His life, His teachings, His sacrifice, and His resurrection.


Belonging

Jesus welcomes you just as you are, and so do we. No matter your story, background, or where you find yourself in life, you are invited into a where belonging is extended freely without condition.


Diversity

Our strength lies in our differences, not in our similarities.

We believe God uses our unique backgrounds, perspectives, and stories to reflect more of who He is in the world.


Partnership

We are better when we partner together on mission.

The work of the Church was never meant to be done alone, and we believe God calls us to serve side by side.


Generosity

Jesus gave us everything and so we give back what we have freely.
We live open-handed, using what God has entrusted to us to serve others, meet needs, and advance His mission in the world.


Life Change

A life following Jesus is marked by daily change and transformation.

We believe growth is a continual journey, not a single moment.

Our Beliefs

We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our pursuit of living out our faith in boldness and passion.

  • God

    There is but one eternal, all-powerful, all-knowing and everywhere-present Triune God—Father, Son and Holy Spirit— who is the creator and sustainer of all things (Deuteronomy 6:4-5; 1 Timothy 2:5).

  • Jesus Christ

    He is God incarnate, yet human. He lived a sinless life, died to make atonement for the sins of all mankind, was bodily resurrected and is now mediator at the right hand of the Father. He is assuredly coming in power and glory for His believing followers, and is the only Savior of men (John 1:1, 14; Titus 2:11-14).

  • Holy Spirit

    He convicts the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment, regenerating all who repent of their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. He sanctifies, empowers, teaches, guides and comforts the believers (John 16:7,8, 12-15).

  • Bible

    The Bible is the divinely inspired Word of God and thus authoritative in all matters it addresses (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).

  • Salvation

    Salvation is the result of genuine repentance of sin and faith in the atoning work of Christ. It brings forgiveness to the penitent, makes him a partaker of the divine nature and gives peace with God. We call this new birth (Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:3-5).

  • Church

    We believe in the invisible and universal Church as an organism. It is composed of all believers in the Lord Jesus who have been vitally united by faith to Christ, its living Head and sovereign Lord (Matthew 16:18; Hebrews 12:22-24).

  • Ordinances

    We believe the Christian ordinances are two: baptism and taking communion (the Lord’s Supper). We believe they are outward rites appointed by Christ to be administered in each church, not as a means of salvation, but as a visible sign and seal of its reality (Acts 8:36; 1 Corinthians 11:24-34).
