Vision and Values

Life is a journey—it comes with both challenges and opportunities.

This journey is not meant to be lived alone. We walk through life together.

We believe God is calling us to pursue this Vision together,

as we live out these three Core Values…

Our vision is to invite people to discover help and hope together.

Everyone needs help. Sometimes we are on the receiving end. Other times, we are the ones offering a helping hand. When things are dark and challenging, it is the help of others that raises hope in our hearts. We believe that the search for help and hope is a lifelong journey of discovery that’s best done together. We also believe that this journey will lead you to the Person of Jesus Christ. So we invite you to join us, in discovering help and hope that comes from Christ alone.

Our Core Values

As a church, we aspire to live out three core values that express help and hope to our community.

ACCEPT - we accept you where you are.

We’re glad that you’re here and look forward to discovering together, the help and hope that is found in Jesus Christ.

“Accept one another then, just as Christ accepted you, to bring praise to God.”

— Romans 15:7

GROW - We all grow with God’s help.

We want to be intentional in calling on each other to take another step in this journey. What that step is will be as unique as the individuals we are. But the goal is to keep growing deeper in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.

“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord & Savior, Jesus Christ”

— 2 Peter 3:18

SERVE - We make a difference in our community, by sacrificially serving others.

Service is something that is best done together. So we choose to invest back into our city by volunteering with community partner organizations or a host of other service opportunities. What matters is that we embrace a life of service, both within and outside the church.

“If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ.”

— 1 Peter 4:11
