We're a gathering of people passionate about engaging with our community to help restore hope and influence our culture to love God, love people, and serve the city. Mission:
We're partnering with God to restore His good world, repair what’s broken, care for those in need, and welcome everyone to the table. Doing simple things, greatly,
in the name of Jesus. Values:
Gods Word - the Bible. It's His word. It's His active leadership in our lives that requires our active response to His guidance. His Word matters deeply to us. We'll point you towards it in every situation you face and help you learn to turn to it daily. Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; James 1:22
Worship - it's more than just singing a few songs when we gather. It's a way of life. It's how we live. How we interact with the world at large. Worship refreshes us to live openly in the pressures that we face in our day to day. Psalm 105:1; Psalm 150:6; Matthew 5:15-16
All People Matter - it seems so ambiguous to say that but it's true. To truly live out John 3:16 we need to understand what it means that Christ gave His life for the ENTIRE WORLD. That's everyone. Red & Yellow, Black & White...young or old. You matter. Because you matter to Him, you matter to us. We'll do whatever we can to help you experience His love through us. Mark 12:31; 1 Peter 4:8; 1 John 4:18-19
Radical Generosity - money - yeah, we just said that. But not in the way you think. Money matters. Everything has a price. A value. Money matters because it takes money to accomplish things in this world. We need radically generous people to get some really vital things done within our city. It’s not just about money - Time. Talents. Treasure. We’re radically generous with all of it. 1 Chronicles 29:14; 1 Corinthians 4:1-2; 1 Peter 4:8-10; 1 John 3:17-18
Holy Spirit - the 3rd part of the Trinity. The forgotten God. The one who comes to impart power into our lives. Not power to create great influence to gain riches or fame. Influence to change lives. Power that surpasses our humanity and makes us greater, more effective witnesses to a broken, hurting world. Fruit and gifts that are given to us by the Holy Spirit create the opportunity for restoration in lives all around us. Luke 24:45-49; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:2-4; Galatians 5:22-25; 1 Corinthians 12:7-11
Freedom - it is for freedom He sets us free. Jesus came to set captives free - that we would no longer be bound by anything. We will partner with Him to help others find this same freedom - physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Galatians 5:1; Galatians 5:13; Luke 4:18-19; 1 Peter 2:16-17
Fun - we realize that life can be difficult. Tough times come to all. Scripture says that it rains on the just and the unjust. In spite of the rain, in the midst of the pain, we choose joy. Life is too short to be lived without laughter and smiles. Ecclesiastes 8:15; Proverbs 17:22; Colossians 1:10
