Our Values
Pursuit of God
We are hungry to know God’s presence, hear His voice, and follow hard after Him. (Philippians 3:10)

Integrity
It is important to us to speak the truth, deal honestly, and live uprightly.
(Ephesians 4:15)

Sinners
We value sinners in God’s church, whether they are Christians or non-Christians. Though we value walking in righteousness, we do not want to be a church where sinners do not feel welcomed and loved. Like Jesus, we value relationships with the broken, bound, hurting, and confused. In fact, we welcome them into our lives! (Mathew 9:9-13)

Simplicity
We value simplicity and thus will not use manipulation, deception, or coercion to motivate people to function and participate in church life. We do not want anything for its “religious effect”; rather we want to operate in a natural, low-key, non-hype way. We desire to do the ministry of Jesus with joy. (MatT6:1-8)

Realness
We value being real and sincere. We believe that God is most glorified when we are the most human, and we are the most human when we are walking in relationship with God. (Mathew 6:1-8)

Hospitality
We value giving and receiving hospitality. We value joy, friendship, caring, warmth, and acceptance in our relationships with one another. We value making guests welcome. (Hebrews 13:2)
