Here’s what that means to us:
OUR MISSION
Follow Jesus:
Matthew 4:19 | 19 And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Love People:
John 13:34-35 | 34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.
Change the world:
1 Peter 4:10 | 10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.
OUR VALUES
1. Authentic Community: We value authentic community through transparency and grace.
Hebrews 10:24-25 | 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
2. Faith Steps: We take faith steps and trust God in big ways.
Proverbs 3:5-6 | 5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. 6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
3. The Word: We believe God’s word changes lives.
2 Timothy 3:16-17 | 16 All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
4. Next Generations: We invest in lives today to raise the church of tomorrow.
1 Timothy 4:12 | 12 Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Grace - Knowing & meeting others with the grace & hope of Jesus!
Matthew 22:37–40 (CSB)
37 He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind., 38 This is the greatest and most important command. 39 The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself., 40 All the Law and the Prophets depend on these two commands.”
Gifting - Discovery of spiritual gifts to live on purpose serving others!
1 Peter 4:10 (CSB)
10 Just as each one has received a gift, use it to serve others, as good stewards of the varied grace of God.
Growth - Grow in the Word of God & encouragement of each other!
1 Thessalonians 5:11 (CSB)
11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up as you are already doing.
Go - Across the street, around the corner, & around the world helping others do the same!
Matthew 28:18–20 (CSB)
18 Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
