People should be loved and accepted because God’s grace is extended to everyone, regardless of their performance. Love for people must never be bartered or bought. It is free!   

Every person bears the image of a glorious, beautiful God!

When we experience God’s grace, we can’t help but love Jesus and worship Him!

Our faith—our confidence and trust in Jesus—develops as we get to know Him. His Spirit equips us and teaches us—in order that we grow in our knowledge, understanding, and relationship with Jesus!

Our knowledge of Jesus grows through knowing and applying His Word, the Bible.  Culturally relevant training equips us to apply our faith, bring the lost to Jesus, and extend hope to all.

We were designed to thrive in community with other Jesus followers. Authentic life change occurs as we develop relationships that express openness, vulnerability, and the desire to grow closer to God and others.

Jesus left us one command: “Love one another as I have loved you.” In response to the question “What does love require?” we are called to serve and lead with humility and excellence using the gifts God has given us.
