We seek to be a Christ-centered, open, and welcoming community, addressing the challenges of our time.

christ-centered

  • We follow Jesus on our journey of faith, joyfully sharing the Good News that God is revealing while humbly confessing that we do not have all the answers.

  • We find unity and purpose in our common identity as brothers and sisters in Christ, drawing strength from our varied experiences and perspectives.

  • We encounter God’s truth and mercy through vibrant worship that features excellent music, communal prayer, and preaching that is grounded in Scripture and made relevant to our lives today.

open & WElcoming

  • We are a family of faith composed of people of all ages with a variety of backgrounds and traditions, including those who are new or returning to faith or church.

  • We extend God’s love and hospitality to one and all, offering belonging, connection, friendship, and compassionate care.

  • We nurture opportunities for people to gather, learn, grow in faith and discipleship, and deepen relationships with one another.

addressing the challenges

  • We generously commit our financial resources, our campus facilities, and our time and talents to serve our community and world.

  • We strive to bring God's justice and mercy to a world still broken by poverty, inequity, and discrimination of all kinds.

  • We work to nurture, protect, and restore God's beautiful creation.

  • We are a heart for the city: a historic, downtown church standing on the shoulders of the saints who have gone before us and endeavoring to serve the common good.
