OUR PRIORITIES
Life Transformation
We are followers of Jesus Christ on a journey of holistic transformation and thus, we are committed to Christ-like living in all aspects of life. (Romans 12:1-2)
Purposeful Missions and Service
As the body of Christ, we are called to join in God’s mission of love to a world in need by putting that love into purposeful and sustainable action.
(Ephesians 2:10)
Nurturing Faith in Future Generations
We disciple the next generation of Jesus’ followers so they can live the gospel into the future of an uncertain world. (2 Timothy 2:2)
Building Christ-centered Community
We are a community patterned after the life of Christ and led by the Spirit to embody the love of God to each other and those around us. (Romans 15:5-7)
Bold Hospitality
We intentionally work to create a community of belonging through the practice of radical hospitality to everyone who seeks it. (Hebrews 13:2)
