VISION

We strive to see transformed lives engaging in Spirit-empowered worship, Christlike service, and gospel-saturated community, resulting in multiplying congregations.

Lives impacted by the gospel are lives that are transformed. The gospel loudly calls for a response and those who respond in repentance and faith have a common identity as worshipers, servants, and gospel-participants.

Jesus said that true worshipers do so in Spirit and in truth. Although human wiring is disrupted by sin, those who are in Christ are indwelled by the Spirit and, through his power, experience a rewiring from myopic self-exaltation to Godward devotion.

A life that is free to worship in Spirit and in truth is one that is also able to freely serve fellow image-bearers. Jesus, although fully God, took on flesh and was also fully man, the most humble of actions. He said very clearly that he came “not to be served, but to serve.” A transformed life always takes this posture toward others.

It’s very hard to partner or participate in the gospel without fellow partners or participants. Just like the proper backdrop accentuates the beauty of a sculpture, so community accentuates the beauty of the gospel. In community we uphold the command to not forsake meeting together, but encouraging one another and stirring one another up to love and good works.

MISSION

We exist to make disciples who make disciples of Jesus Christ

The imperative in Matthew 28:18-20 to go and make disciples is for all Christians. Jesus shepherded and equipped twelve ordinary men to do ministry in his newly inaugurated church. The mission to make disciples who make disciples is not a church growth strategy, but an obedience to a fundamental command. Spirit-empowered disciples who reproduce disciples also reproduce communities, congregations, and movements.
