We believe our purpose is to be God’s People on God’s Mission for God’s Glory. To that end, by the grace of God, we strive to be:
Gospel-driven. We value God’s word.
The Bible is the center-point and starting point of all we do. The Christ-centered gospel is the central message of God’s Word, so it is what we proclaim and that by which our lives, worship, spiritual growth, mission, and faith-community are shaped.
Gospel Stewardship. We value God’s Commission.
This means we believe we are demonstrating good stewardship with Christ’s gospel when our aim and effort is to make disciples of all nations. As a result our congregation and partnerships should reflect our city’s demographics .
Gospel Witness. We value God’s Command.
This means our love for God, one another, and others across generations, cultures, races, and social strata is our greatest witness for advancement of the truth of the gospel.
This is how we carry out our purpose according to our values...
Glorifying God
We commit to corporate worship (together around God’s Word) from the heart and mind because it is the chief end of humanity to glorify God and enjoy Him forever.
We commit to personal worship (via prayer, Scripture reading, and work as unto the Lord).
We commit to family worship (discipling our families together in the Lord).
Gathering in Grace
We gather regularly on the Lord's Day (Sunday), mid-week Gospel Communities, and other venues for discipleship, prayer, & loving fellowship.
We gather to serve the needs of those around us and around the world.
"Gospelizing Glocally"
We commit to loving our city (local) and world (global) well with the gospel message.
Local: we love our City well through service, mercy ministries, and proclamation ministries.
Global (and national): we love our world well through global partnerships for service, training, and proclamation.
