Core Commitments

Key Beliefs that Underlie our Core Commitments:

  • We trust God’s desire and ability to keep covenant and fulfill promises.
  • We focus our ministry and mission upon the life, death, resurrection, and teachings of Jesus Christ (God’s fullest revelation).

Our core commitments ground our community, and we pursue them with accountability, transparency, and honesty.

As a people being continuously gathered, we:

  • warmly invite others into the life of Christ, working towards the Revelation 7 vision where people from various backgrounds, cultures, and ethnicities gather as one around the same throne
  • recognize and value each person as an image-bearing child of God

As a people being continuously forgiven, we:

  • embrace God’s forgiveness with both humility and boldness
  • forgive others

As a people being continuously transformed, we:

  • pursue the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit through prayer
  • nurture, disciple, and equip people of all ages to grow in their desire and commitment to follow Jesus Christ and join in the work of the gospel

As a people being continuously sent, we:

  • participate in God’s reconciling love through Christ in our neighborhood and world through actions of justice, mercy, and peace
  • learn from and partner with other local and global churches and ministries in our collaborative work of the gospel

For all that God has done, provides, and promises to complete, we:

  • practice great gratitude
  • celebrate joyous hope
