Who We Are
First things first. YOU BELONG HERE. YOU are who is missing in our family. You were loved even before we knew your name. You are valued and you are worthy. Not because we say so, but because Jesus says so!
Second thing. We are PASSIONATE about community. We grow through our relationship with Jesus and our relationships with others. We almost always have something going on or coming up that is meant to bring us together to connect and encourage and lift each other up. We become who we surround ourselves with and we want to become more like Jesus together!
Last thing. We have been strategically placed IN a community! And we want to BLESS this community! Each opportunity we encounter is met with the question, “how can we use this to reach and bless the community?” Everything we consider doing is strategically geared to this goal.
Our anchor verse is John 14:6 (“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’”John 14:6). Jesus is our life. He is the point, the end reason for why we are here. He is our LifePoint. We want to show people the life, the love and the hope they have in Him and encourage the pursuit of that relationship above all else. Because without Him, what’s the point?

Love is our reason. Jesus loves us unconditionally, just as we are. Since we have generously received that love, we want to offer that same love to everyone.
Community is our mission. We desire to play an active role in our community by actively serving within it.
Faith is our foundation. By faith we have been saved. We boldly live out that faith by sharing our story of how Jesus is actively working in our lives.
Relationship is our passion. We desire to develop authentic, close-knit relationships through small group connections, team building, learning, and serving beside each other.
Growth is our goal. We strive to provide an atmosphere for personal and spiritual growth. We believe in developing and releasing leaders through intentional discipleship.
Excellence is our spirit. We don’t do things halfway. We give our best in every area that we serve, not for our glory, but for God’s.
