Our DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid. What in God's green earth is that? It's DNA, and it's the blueprint by which every living thing functions. Without DNA we cease to be who we are. Without our DNA or values our church ceases to be what we believe God has called us to be - they provide life and they're worth dying for... so what are our values?

Presence
God's presence isn’t just a feeling we experience in worship or when a miracle takes place, but an abiding sense of God’s involvement in our lives and the life of our church. John 15 tells us that God is the vine and we’re the branches. The flow of His life and presence in our lives results in great fruit. The presence of God is a distinguishing mark on the life of every Christ follower; it’s about the life of God that marks our lives with faith, love, hope, peace and joy.

Relationships
God never created us to do life alone. We believe in life together – unified, enviable, cause-centric community (teams of people accomplishing God’s purposes and growing together).

People
If people matter to God, they matter to us. God came and hung out with people who were faraway from Him. Christ's life and message helped to explain God. It made sense to a whole lot of people. Our desire is that each one of our lives would reflect that same value.

Growth
Our goal is that we all become fully devoted followers of Christ. That means committing to the principles and practices of Christian living outlined in Scripture. It means using our gifts, talents and abilities to honor God and extend His Kingdom.

Stewardship
Before we experienced God’s grace, our lives were consumed with ourselves and our desires. Now as devoted followers of Christ, God desires that we be consumed with His purposes and use our time, talents and resources to generously serve Him and others.

Generations
We're committed to providing effective ministry to take the reality of God to our children, students, young adults, singles of all ages and families. We’re committed to building a dynamic children’s ministry, and relevant ministry to junior high and high school students.

Missions
As fully devoted followers of Christ, missions isn’t just something we do, it is who we are…it is a lifestyle. Pray. Give. Go.
