A family of Jesus followers
learning to live free.
Our Values
Claimed
God is for us. In Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit, God has made us His own, His people, citizens and heirs of His Kingdom, daughters and sons. We want to grow in our identity as His children and in intimacy with Him. We always remind one another of who God is and who we are in Him.
Commissioned
God works through us. Jesus has invited us to partner with Him in God’s restorative work in the world through His Spirit with and in us. We want to grow in our awareness that He is at work and in our availability to join Him in that work. We always look for opportunities to partner with Him.
Covered
God is with us. He does not leave us to fend for ourselves but has given us His Spirit to seal us as His own to empower us for His mission. We want to grow in sensitivity to His presence and in the expectancy that, where He is, anything is possible. We always pursue His presence and ask Him to move among and through us.
Family
And we don’t do any of this alone. Notice, the pronouns: “God is for us. God is with us. God works through us.” This journey into freedom is not a solo venture. We need one another to live out the Gospel and to experience the full abundant life that Jesus came to give us. So, we always look for ways to grow together as a family.
Our Core Convictions.
We hold to the historic teachings of Christian orthodoxy handed down in the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed. We are also aligned with more recent formulations of core Christian doctrine spelled out in the Lausanne Covenant and the statement of faith of the Langham Partnership.
In addition to these statements of faith, we hold the following core convictions based on our understanding of the belief and practice of the early Church as observed in the book of Acts.
