ABOUT US
Vision
Life Together in the Grace of God
Mission
In our life together, we commune with God through his Son, Jesus Christ, who, shapes us by his Word and Spirit to send us out into his service.
Values
Grace
We aren’t into scorekeeping, earning points, or balancing the books with God. Grace liberates by putting us into right relationship with God because of what Jesus has done for us, not what we do for him. Our security lies in the status God gives us in his Son, not a status we gain through our performance.
Growth
God loves us the way we are, but too much to leave us that way. Grace not only puts us into right relationship with God, but also frees us from sin’s control, giving us real hope for real change. Alive in Christ, the Spirit doesn’t settle for cosmetic change, but renews us inside and out.
Worship
Everyone worships something, seeking to satisfy the deepest longings of the heart. Unfortunately, the things we serve, like money, relationships, or appearance, don’t deliver. In Christ, God captures our wayward hearts and satisfies them in himself. We gather weekly to re-direct our desires as we commune with God together.
Community
God made us, not only for himself, but also for each other. We accept one another, ignoring common boundaries like race, age, or class, because God has accepted us in Christ. Within this community, Jesus turns selfish, isolated individuals into a family that seeks to love one another, share life together, and embody God’s kingdom.
Neighbor
God loves our city. Given this, we move towards our neighbor in sacrificial love, denying the fear, arrogance, and indifference that keep us at a safe distance. We seek to proclaim his love, in word and deed, by caring for the vulnerable, serving others in our vocations, and planting neighborhood churches for the renewal of our city and world.
Equipping
The church is not a passive crowd of consumers but an active body of servants. We seek to equip our members, uniquely gifted by God, to serve in our church, at home, and in the workplace. By equipping God’s servants, we multiply the gospel’s impact in our city and around the world.
Partnership
We cannot do this alone. Our commitment to the renewal of all things requires strategic partnerships that extend our reach into the world’s many broken places. We labor alongside others in joyful expectation of the coming kingdom of God
Beliefs
We are a Presbyterian, evangelical and Reformed church joined to the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).
Committed to historic Christian orthodoxy, the PCA strives to spread the gospel throughout the world while maintaining a focus upon sound doctrine. As Presbyterians, our roots reach back to the Protestant Reformation of the 16th century.
We self-consciously identify with the Westminster Confession of Faith as our statement of faith while also appreciating the three forms of unity within the Reformed tradition – the Heidelberg Catechism, Belgic Confession, and Canons of Dordt.
If you have further questions about our church’s beliefs, please do not hesitate to contact our Senior Pastor, Chuck Colson.
