“You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached-how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good…”
Acts 10:37-38, NIV
Making the world a better place through God and good
“You are the light that gives light to the world. A city that is built on a hill cannot be hidden. And people don’t hide a light under a bowl. They put it on a lampstand so the light shines for all the people in the house. In the same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do and will praise your Father in heaven.” — Matthew 5:14-16 NCV
We are inspired by the powerful example of the Christians in the Bible whose faith in God brought healing and change to the world around them. Their impact came from being deeply rooted in the Word of God, doing good for people wherever they went, and building deeply interconnected and loving relationships with one another. These principles have guided us to create a God-focused, life-changing, and non-denominational spiritual community that we hope will bring light to a world that so often needs it.
God-focused
Making the Bible our standard
“And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe.” — 1 Thessalonians 2:13 NIV
Building on the right foundation means building a church that is God-focused and Bible-centered. We believe that the best thing we can do as a church is to create a community that is passionate about pursuing a close relationship with God.
Life-changing
Doing good, regardless of religious affiliation
“This is a trustworthy saying. And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good. These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.” — Titus 3:8 NIV
Jesus loved unconditionally, making God known to the world by serving and healing people regardless of whether or not they chose to follow him. As a church, we aim to follow in the footsteps of Jesus by investing in programs and services that positively impact people’s lives and establish the church as a force for good in our local community.
Non-denominational
Changing how we think about church
“I’ve been broken, lost, depressed, oppressed, and weak that I might find favor and gain the weak. I’m flexible, adaptable, and able to do and be whatever is needed for all kinds of people so that in the end I can use every means at my disposal to offer them salvation. I do it all for the gospel and for the hope that I may participate with everyone who is blessed by the proclamation of the good news.” — 1 Corinthians 9:22-23 Voice
Our desire to share God’s message of faith, hope, and love with the world is rooted in empathy. Our own experiences with pain, suffering, challenges, and disillusionment have given us not only a deep sense of compassion for those undergoing similar trials but also an understanding that not everyone sees God as the answer.
This is why we embrace the spirit of innovation we see in the Bible. Instead of limiting ourselves to tradition, rules, or a culture of religiosity, our faith in God helps us constantly look at the Bible with fresh eyes, readiness to adapt, and a desire to learn how to inspire the world around us to know God.
Being around people who have an authentic, dynamic relationship with God has been a game-changer for me.
The emphasis on the Bible and God's promises has been key for me. During a challenging time when we were feeling faithless, another couple encouraged us and gave us hope from the Bible for the direction of our family.
It's beautiful to find a community of people who put such a genuine effort into following the Bible.
