Who We Are
	Our God-Given Mission
We're learning to be the loving & inviting family of God who Reach, Build & Send people with life & hope in Jesus Christ
Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 1:8; John 13:34-35; Acts 2:42-47; 1 Corinthians 9:19-23; Ephesians 4:11-13; 1 Thessalonians 5:11; John 20:21; 1 Peter 1:3; 1 John 5:11-13
	Our Values
We value *FAMILY & FRIENDSHIPS* God has called us to be his family in and to a broken world, in the hope that others may share in a friendship with God through Jesus Christ. Psalm 68:6; 1 John 1:3-4

We value *HOPE & PRAYER* Because of what God has done and is doing, we have a basis for genuine optimism, knowing that as we humbly call on the Name of the Lord together, He works in our families, city & world. Jeremiah 29:11-12; 2 Chronicles 7:14

We value *THE BIBLE & OBEDIENCE* We gratefully and unashamedly hold up the Bible as God's unchanging Word to us, and we seek to submit to his life-giving teaching and authority in every area of our lives, even when it's painful. Psalm 119:105; John 14:21-24

We value *AUTHENTICITY & GENEROSITY* Since the One who knows us best, loves us most, we're now freed up to reflect the gracious heart of God by being honest & transparent and joyfully sharing our resources with others. Proverbs 28:13; 11:24-25

We value *MISSIONS & THE ARTS* Through a network of partnerships, short-term outreaches & a wide use of the arts, we want to share God’s message of Jesus with people in our gatherings, on our street & all over the world. Matthew 28:18-20; Colossians 3:17

We value *SERVING & TEAMWORK* Convinced that a “me-first” mindset is a dead-end road but that doing life together is the pathway to fullness of life, we prefer shared decision-making, shared leadership, small groups, heartfelt service. Mark 10:42-45; Nehemiah 4:6

	Our Goal
We want to focus equal attention on … What God is doing INSIDE our church We want to be a church that truly cares for those inside. What God is doing OUTSIDE our church We want to be a church that truly loves our city and demonstrates His love in tangible ways. We also feel called to be a church that encourages other churches.
