MISSION, VISION & VALUES

SECURE —> SHAPED —> SENT

  • Mission Statement - We exist to become family of Jesus followers who are secure in the Gospel, shaped by the way of Jesus and sent for the good of our city and the world (so all can taste and see the goodness of God).

CORE VALUES

SECURE

  • Secure in the Gospel (identity)

    • We rest in the finished work of Jesus - secure in His love, forgiveness, and grace. Our identity is received, not earned.

SHAPED

  • Shaped by the Way of Jesus (discipleship)

    • We apprentice under Jesus, practicing His way, following the Holy Spirit, so His character becomes our character.

  • Shaped by Prayer (spirit-led)

    • We depend on the Holy Spirit to transform hearts, guide our steps, and bear fruit through us.

  • Shaped by Community (family)

    • We grow best together as a family led by the Holy Spirit - walking with one another in grace, truth and love.

SENT

  • Sent for the Good our City and the World (calling)

    • We live as everyday missionaries, joining God in His work to bring beauty, justice, mercy and renewal to our family, communities, city and beyond.

  • Sent into Cultural Engagement (integrity)

    • We follow the leading of the Holy Spirit to engage in the issues of our day with honesty, humility, and Biblical clarity, while resisting extremes, so the love and wisdom and Jesus can be seen, felt and experiences in our polarized world.
