What drives us?
The GOSPEL changes everything
Romans 1:16 | 2 Corinthians 5:17
The good news that Jesus came to save requires a response. To let it pass us by is to be changed for the worst. To welcome it is to let it change everything for the better. God longs for the ministry of reconciliation to radiate out to all that we encounter.
We’re shaped by the WHOLE STORY OF SCRIPTURE
Colossians 3:16-17 | 2 Timothy 3:16-17
The Scriptures are the story of God loving and saving an ever expanding group of people. From the opening phrases of Genesis to the closing of Revelation, we see God’s character and heart for the world. We are not only shaped by the story; we live in the story. So we seek to know it.
We embrace the call to LOVE LIKE JESUS
John 13:35 | Matthew 22:34-40
God created us to live in real relationship with Him and with one another. In fellowship with others, we experience the fullness of this truth. Shared life is not simply about proximity or transaction - it invites us to vulnerability, generosity, accountability, and care. We make choices to be together and invite you to do the same.
We thrive in SHARED LIFE
Acts 2:42-47 | Romans 12:3-5
God created us to live in real relationship with Him and with one another. In fellowship with others, we experience the fullness of this truth. Shared life is not simply about proximity or transaction - it invites us to vulnerability, generosity, accountability, and care. We make choices to be together and invite you to do the same.
We INVITE because we were invited
2 Corinthians 5:16-21 | 1 John 4:19
By putting breath into our lungs, God has invited us to live.Through His Son, he has invited us to new life. Through people in the church, he has invited us to participate in our faith. We continue this line of faith, inviting others to follow Jesus with us.
We EMPOWER and SEND disciples of Jesus
Matthew 28:18-20 | Ephesians 4:11-13
The radical reality of the Church is that Jesus, from the start of his public ministry, equipped and sent people to do the ministry of reconciliation. We stand in that tradition, in the unique context of the campus, to raise up followers of Jesus who bring the light of the Gospel to every corner of the world.
