Our Vision
...is to be a community of hope, joy, and grace,
confessing faithfully that Jesus is Lord,
worshipping together as fully devoted followers,
connecting deeply to one another and our calling through shared life in groups, teaching in creative, relevant ways how to apply the good news of the kingdom,
equipping everyone to serve and share Jesus with their sphere of influence, and
catalyzing a movement of outward focused disciples, leaders, cells, congregations, and churches
according to the pattern found in the New Testament.
Our Mission
...is to connect people to God, to each other, and to our community.
Our Strategy (Deliberate Simplicity)
Worship: transformational experiences where people connect to God and experience His presence. Groups: connecting and sharing life together as Christ followers Serving: creating a community that serves one another and our neighbors.
