Our Philosophy
Our Vision
We want to see every life shaped by God’s redemptive story.
Our Values
Gospel
Centrality.
The gospel of Jesus is central to everything we do, not simply as an abstract idea but as an embodied reality. We strive to be formed by this gospel in every area of life through a pervasive rehearsal of the gospel story - the life, death, resurrection, ascension, and coming return of Jesus.
Formative
Community.
A church is a community of people who practice faith together. This community is the context that God uses to form us into the image of Christ. We practice deep, intentional community rhythms for spiritual formation.
Faithful
Presence.
The task of the church is to represent the kingdom of God in and for the world. This calling requires us to view all of life as mission, using our homes, our vocations, and our energies in ways that reflect and reveal the presence of God’s kingdom. We call this approach to mission faithful presence.
Our Ethos
Presence.
In a world increasingly dominated by digital devices, spaces, and networks, we seek to be a community that majors in physical presence. Human beings are beautifully and irreducibly physical. We intentionally gather around the gospel, community, and mission in ways that require physical presence.
Mystery.
In an age characterized by secularism, doubt, and pragmatism, our church steadfastly pursues the real and tangible presence of a transcendent, personal God. From worship gatherings to community groups to mission, we seek to facilitate encounters with the living God.
Rhythm.
In a culture that obsesses over innovation and novelty, we rely on the time-tested patterns that have defined Christian communities for thousands of years. Rhythms of prayer, fellowship, and hospitality are the trellis upon which the vine of our church community grows.
