Community:

God created people for relationships. First and foremost, people are created to be in relationship with Him through experiencing his grace and forgiveness. Second, in relationship with other people or community. We desire a community of people seeking God's plan for our lives and accepting and connecting with each other as partners with God in His mission for this world.  

Authenticity:

God has created people to be in an open honest relationship with Him and others. The uncertainties in life can result in hurt, sorrow, joy, excitement, disappointment and victory. We seek to be an authentic ministry, authentically seeking after Jesus Christ in every aspect of our lives.  

Mission:

God began a mission long ago for people to share His message of life and to bless the entire world. We believe it is this mission of expressing love for others through God's grace that sets the Christian Community apart from all other belief systems. It is from this mission that we find our true purpose in life. We seek to be a ministry that shares the Good News of Jesus while at the same time blesses those people with whom we come in contact. We call this being "Co-Missional".

People:

God created people in his image to know, love, and serve him. Therefore, people and their needs must be of utmost importance to us. We seek to be a ministry for people not for programs.

Mystery:

The God revealed in the bible is a God who cannot be fully comprehended by our finite minds. Because of this, there is a great deal of mystery to God and his relationship to his creation. We seek to be a ministry that embraces and celebrates this mystery of God through wonder, worship, and the exercise of spiritual disciplines in order to know God more fully and to experience the full life he desires for us.

Worship:

Through Jesus, we are able to approach the God of the universe just as we are, without fear of rejection. At the same time, we acknowledge worship as the core of our corporate experience. We seek to be a ministry that worships God in a way that is glorifying to Him and brings us into contact with the transcendent yet immanent God. Furthermore, we seek to use language, music and teaching that is relevant and easily discerned by even the most casual attendee.

Creativity:

God created our senses to experience His creation which is full of colors, shapes, smells, textures, and sounds. Being the image bearers of God, we express our feelings and thoughts toward God in individual, creative, and sensory ways. We are a ministry that encourages creativity in the celebration of God and the furthering of His mission.  

Quality:

God gave everything to bring us into a relationship with Him. We believe that we should have this same attitude in all that we do. We seek to be a ministry that inspires people to give their very best, to the God that gave His all for them.
