On Gospel:
The Gospel Is…
Jesus the God-Man born of a virgin mom.
Jesus the tempted, who stood perfect and never sinned.
Jesus the preacher, healer, confronter, and lover.
Jesus the slaughtered because of our sins.
Jesus the cursed to suffer our hell.
Jesus the buried in the heart of the earth.
Jesus the risen through the power of God.
Jesus the ascended to the right hand of His Father.
Jesus the victor who conquered Satan, sin and death.
The Gospel Says…
That Jesus is good and we are not.
That Jesus is love and takes us where we are.
That Jesus is powerful and promises to transform us.
That Jesus is patient and grows us all differently.
That Jesus is faithful and never forsakes us.
That Jesus is certain and vows to complete us.
The Gospel Must…
Be Proclaimed for it is a message that results in action.
Be Protected for it is a message easily obscured my moralism, self-righteousness, or religion.
Be Purposeful so that it is understood as a message of life transformation and not simply a ticket to an eternal destination.
On Church:
We believe the church:
Is Jesus’ – not mans
Is People – not structures
Is Commanded – not optional
Is Dynamic – not institutional
Is Unstoppable – not constrained
Is at its best when people worship hard, live grace, serve others and know truth.
We believe that a church exists to:
Worship Jesus Corporately
Teach Jesus Thoroughly
Display Jesus Selflessly
Share Jesus Proudly
On Believers:
We believe that following Jesus means each of us are to be:
Practical Theologians
Everyday Missionaries
Community Investors
Continuous Worshipers
On Culture:
We seek to:
Redeem the parts of culture that can be used to the glory of God.
Receive the parts of culture that are for the glory of God.
Reject the parts of culture that attempt to divert people from the glory from God.
