Locally-Rooted Presence
God’s passions and plans for people become concrete when they are localized. We seek to embody the presence of Jesus within our neighborhoods. We will be a people who live in and for the well-being of our neighbors and neighborhoods with a peculiar and generous kind of love.
Tight-Knit Relationships
God works through communities who live in deep, committed relationships with one another. We’ll demonstrate a love that sacrifices for the well-being of one another. Through our shared life together, we will demonstrate God’s goodness to our neighborhoods, our city, and the world.
Boundary-Crossing Mission
God desires to see all people and all creation reconciled to himself and one another. That means there is no boundary we aren’t supposed to cross over and no dividing wall we aren’t meant to tear down in order to love and serve one another. Every person is created as a child of God, bearing his image. We will always move towards people in love.
Life-Forming Discipleship
God wants people to become increasingly like him. We are to reflect his ways of loving, serving, and doing justice in every facet of our lives every day of the week. We will seek to be people whose lives are marked by righteousness and justice and who take seriously Jesus’ command to love God and one another with every ounce of who we are.
