Who we are:

We are a church with history living out the message of Jesus in a modern world. We are rooted and we are flexible. We see our space as a place to cultivate relationships, worship together and impact our community.

We hope to be

Intentional
We believe that every human being has been intentionally designed by God to live a purposeful and meaningful life. We discover our true identity and purpose through a relationship with Jesus.
Everything we do, every gathering, every mission, every activity is an intentional expression.

Our goal is to create spaces where people can encounter, embrace and engage with who God is, while learning how to live intentionally themselves.

Inclusive
We believe that all people are full participants in God's community. It's not your gender or your sexuality, but your GIFTS that determine your ministry. We believe everyone is called to ministry.
We do everything in TEAM. We welcome constructive feedback and fresh ideas. We are all at different places on our journey. Our goal is to come alongside and make that journey a more fulfilling and meaningful experience.

Intimate

We believe that God wants us to know Him and His love, His mercy, and His goodness in very real and relevant ways and to understand that our personal faith has a community impact.

As a downtown church, it is our goal to be a place where anyone from the community can meet, learn, grow, and thrive.

Inspiring
We believe that we all long to be inspired. Inspiration awakens us to new possibilities and transforms the way we think about ourselves and perceive our own capabilities. It brings clarity and creativity to life.

Creating spaces that are both inviting and inspiring is deeply important to us.
