Vision, Values, and Mission

We exist to be with Jesus, become like Him, and live for Him.

Our Vision

As a community of Christ, our vision is Jesus himself.

We want everything we are and everything we do to be from him and for him. That is why we exist—to be with Jesus, become like Him, and live for Him.

We are loved by God. We are being changed by that love. And we are learning to express that love in the places where we live, learn, work, and play. Wherever you are on the journey of faith, we hope you will walk with us as we learn to build a way of life with him.

Our Mission

Practicing a Way of Life with God.

We want to be with Jesus, become like him, and live for him. The way we do that is by practicing a way of life with God.

The life that Christ lived for us is the same life he invites us to, practicing rhythms of:

  • Fellowship and Solitude

  • Prayer and Scripture

  • Work and Rest

  • Giving and Receiving

  • Fasting and Feasting

More than merely being ‘spiritual disciplines’ these practices connect us to Jesus in all of life become part of who we are as God’s children, connected to him and one another by his love.

Being Human Series

Our Values

  • God has loved us first, so we are growing in our devotion to him, his church, and his mission. (Deuteronomy 6:4-6, 1 John 4:7–12, Matthew 22:37–40, Romans 12:9-21)

  • We value the Truth from God’s authoritative word applied with Grace for us all as fallen humans still in progress. (John 1:14, John 14:6, 1 John 5:20, 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Romans 15:4)

  • Loving God draws us together; loving people honors our differences. We preserve our unity not through sameness, but through Christ who unites us in love across a diverse range of ages, abilities, cultures, social classes, and colors. (John 17:23, Ephesians 1:10, Ephesians 4:1-3, Galatians 3:27-29)

  • God’s love gives us open hands and open hearts to give freely and sacrificially of our time, treasure, talents; welcoming others with the same love we have received. (Psalm 37:26, Acts 2:46, Romans 8:32, Romans 12:13, 1 Timothy 6:18)

  • We want to faithfully plant seeds and water, and watch as God produces fruit in abundance. We want to multiply godly children, Christians, leaders, and eventually, churches. (Genesis 1:28, Matthew 28:18–20, 2 Timothy 2:1-2, Acts 14:23, Titus 1:5)
