Core Values

Wholeness:

We believe that God desires to redeem every part of humanity. On this journey, we believe that Christ is the only hope for healing the whole person, reconciling and restoring our relationship with God, each other and creation.

Community:

We believe that life is intended to be lived in authentic community. We will purposefully live in genuine, loving relationships with each other.

Prayer:

We believe that people can communicate directly with the living God. We choose to promote an environment in which prayer pervades everything we do.

Truth:

We believe in asking the hard questions about life, God and spirituality. We believe Truth will be found when we seek it. We believe the Bible is the true and inspired Word of God, and therefore we place high priority on the teaching, discussion and life application of Scripture.

Mercy & Justice:

We believe that the church is God's ongoing presence in the world. Our hearts should break for what breaks the heart of God, compelling us to fight injustice and serve others compassionately.
