JESUS AND HIS KINGDOM
Our most important value. “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
Our mission is to bring the kingdom of God to all people and to all things people do - business, family, education, the arts - all areas of human culture.
And we will keep the main thing the main thing. What’s the main thing? It’s Jesus and his kingdom.
- Mark 1.15.
BIBLICALLY FAITHFUL
The scriptures are a God-inspired, community-affirmed record of our struggle with God and God’s struggle with us.
We will always respect and obey God’s voice in the scriptures.
- Luke 24:27.
NATURALLY SUPERNATURAL
The Holy Spirit is God. We will intentionally welcome the Holy Spirit in our lives and our worship - without being “weird.”
- John 3:8, John 4:4.
EMOTIONALLY HEALTHY
Why is it easier to be yourself with your buddies at the bar but not at church? We will be real and not fake. Discipleship begins with honesty.
- Mark 7:21, Luke 6:45.
