VALUES
ACCEPTANCE
We believe God welcomes us – Just As We Are – Right Where We Are
We seek to be a community that does the same.
We are doing whatever we can to make a place for anyone.
It doesn’t matter where you’ve been or what you believe.
Come just as you are.
No guilt required. No strings attached.
INNOVATION
We believe we are created to create.
All creativity is a reflection of the character of our Creator.
We work hard to try to be different from what people might expect.
Celebrating the creator in anyone. Creating celebration for everyone.
We want to lead by example. To be imitated not imitators. To be inventors and initiators.
DIVERSITY
We believe the tapestry of The Body of Christ is its beauty and genius.
We want to create unity in diversity, not uniformity in homogeneity.
We believe that diversity is something to celebrate not to eliminate.
Remembering what brings us together, not what drives us apart. Including, not excluding.
ENCOURAGEMENT
We believe that the God of The Bible is a God of new beginnings and second chances.
For us, Grace is not just a concept, it is our reality.
Knowing Christ’s forgiveness compels us to show Christ’s forgiveness.
We desire to lift each other up when life beats us down.
We know life is hard enough and we need all the Grace we can get.
AUTHENTICITY
We believe genuine faith works.
Here there is no need to pretend you have it all figured out. No kidding.
We love to do real life together. Making each other better, together.
Serving others, in the gritty reality of life, together. Making our faith work. For real.
