God reveals himself to all people in all different ways so that they might meet Jesus. We often tell the story of the Three Kings, or the Magi, as this side story to the coming of Christ. The deeper truth in this is that Jesus wasn’t only sent for the Jewish people, he was sent for all people. As we look deeper into the lives of the Magi, we come face to face with the Gospel truth that we are called to take the Gospel to places where it is not so that other might know Jesus.
We believe we are here to have a cultural impact. The Gospel compels us to have hope, love others, and transform our town. We do not need an invitation to love. God is calling us to impact others where we are. We are here to have an impact, not to have a successful programs or activities.
We believe the Gospel is best conveyed in community. The Gospel causes us to have more authentic and loving relationships. The Gospel is lived out through our relationships. We do not have an isolated faith. Community is not optional. It is an essential part of the life of a believer.
We believe the Gospel leads to life change. As we know Jesus more deeply, there is physical, emotional, and spiritual evidence. Are we hungry for the things of God or are we satisfied with the things around us? We must encourage one another toward life-change.
We want to be a church that loves like Jesus loves us. We are the church built and unified by Jesus, not a collection of programs and services. A church that loves is simple and intentional.
