OUR VISION

OUR VALUES


Picture
Knowing the Word
​
We believe that Bible is the Word of God and our final authority. God’s Word is truth and life!  Hearing and obeying God’s Word is essential for growing in faith and experiencing the fullness of what we have in Him.  For this reason we seek to equip every believer with the tools necessary to study the Bible and to encounter God personally through it.  Our goal is for everyone to not only know the Word, but to be transformed by it, to walk it out by faith, and to become it.

Following the Spirit
We depend on the Spirit's power and look for God’s leading in everything we do. There is a reason Jesus told his disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit—we need Him! We simply cannot carry on Jesus' mission of reaching the lost and making disciples without the power of the Spirit.  We earnestly desire the gifts of the Spirit and make room in our meetings for people to flow in their gifts to encourage, strengthen and build up the church.

Stepping Out in Faith 
We understand that God has chosen to partner with believers in bringing the gospel to the ends of the earth and that we can do the same works that Jesus did, even greater!  But every supernatural work of God requires some radical step of faith on our part.  Faith looks like something!  It’s often inconvenient, uncomfortable, and different than what everyone else is doing.  As we take risks in loving others and sharing the good news of Jesus Christ, God will confirm his Word with signs, wonders, and miracles.
Picture
Living in Love
We’ve experienced God’s abundant grace and unconditional love, which means we don’t have to hide in fear or shame any longer.  As we acknowledge our own brokenness and are honest about our weaknesses, we come to know of the forgiveness, healing and freedom that we have in Christ.  In knowing how loved we are by God, we become free to fully love others.  This is how other people are to recognize we’re disciples of Jesus Christ—by how we love one another.
Picture
Working from Rest 
Most people are working to rest, but we are invited to work from rest.  Rest is a gift that we receive through coming to Jesus and learning to do ministry his way.  We aren’t human doings, we’re human beings, and all our ministry should flow out of being with Jesus.  We believe that our primary responsibility as believers is to abide in Christ, in His Word and His love, and only out of that place will we bear fruit that will last.

SEE YOU SOON!
