What We Believe
 
															AN AUTHENTIC COMMUNITY 
- We are committed to building loving relationships where authentic biblical community is practiced
- We believe that our lives are shaped in community. For this reason, we seek to provide a safe place for all to experience ministries for the whole pers
- We believe that the Lord has made room for us, so we make room for others. For this reason, we seek to provide a safe place for the stranger, for the broken, and for the seeker.
- We believe that God’s Word calls us to be devoted to one another. We provide opportunities by which we can practice care for one another in a relevant and loving way.
A COMPASSIONATE COMMUNITY 
- We believe that all people matter to God; therefore, they must matter to us.
- We believe that our Lord calls for us to act justly and love mercy. For this reason, we seek to provide ministries that bring the transforming power of God’s presence into our community, region, and world.
- We believe that all people are created in God’s image and, because of the work of Christ, we are called to see ourselves and all people as Christ sees us.
A WORSHIPING COMMUNITY 
- We believe worship is a gathering of God’s people at God’s gracious invitation through which the community of believers encounters the presence of the living Lord. For this reason, we seek to provide worship experiences focused on the Lord and His Word and Sacraments that are intergenerational, blended, and connective.
- We believe that worship encompasses all our lives. We worship through our work and leisure, in homes and schools.
- We believe it is essential that prayer is central to our lives. For that reason, we are committed to lives that are characterized, guided, and empowered by prayer.
A GROWING COMMUNITY 
- We believe that the pursuit of full devotion to Christ and his cause is normal for all believers. For this reason, we provide age-appropriate discipleship ministries for all ages in order to continue to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and his calling in our lives.
- We desire to develop children and youth as disciples in the Kingdom of God.
- We believe leadership development is a priority for the Kingdom. For this reason, we are committed to the intentional development of leaders for the church and the Kingdom.
- We believe Christ has gifted the church to do ministry. For this reason, we are committed to being faithful stewards of all God has given us. We discover our spiritual gifts and calling, and then develop and use them to serve one another and strengthen the body.
- We believe that our Lord extends the Gospel around the world and sends us to make disciples of all nations. For this reason, we seek to train disciple makers and extend the good news through local ministries, planting churches, and sending missionaries.
