A Gospel-Driven, Grace-Filled Church

“Grace is the most potent counterforce at work in our violent species, and our only hope.”
-Phillip Yancy

At the center of our vision is the conviction that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes, that every malady and grief is addressed and substantially healed in this gospel. We long to see a transformation of the city by the outgrowth of the lives of the congregants as they are transformed by this gospel. We are convinced that the good news of the love of God expressed in the death and resurrection of Jesus towards real sinners with real problems will change everything as it courses through our communities.

The church will be both a home and a mission by:

helping people know God through Christ-centered worship and prayer, and intentional evangelism and missions

building community among our members and neighbors with supportive fellowship and community, and restorative mercy and justice

following Christ in our lives, our city, and the world through relational learning and equipping, and cultural engagement and transformation
