About
Our Mission
To grow a community built on the hope of Jesus, while living lives that share His extraordinary love.
The Great Commission
Matthew 28:18-20
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
The Great Commandment
Matthew 22:37-40
And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
Our Beliefs
About God
We believe in the existence of one true God who has revealed Himself to this world as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit through the Word of God and the person of Jesus Christ. We believe that God created humans to have a relationship with Him. We believe that God the Father cares deeply for all of humanity, and desires for each and every person to find their way back to a restored relationship with Him through Jesus.
About Jesus
We believe that the best decision you could ever make is to follow Jesus. It is only Jesus, through his death and resurrection, that makes our relationship with God the Father possible. Jesus alone has mediated "for us, and has made us right with God...", by forgiving us from all sin and inviting us into a life inspired and shaped by His unconditional love and grace.
About Holy Spirit
We believe that the Holy Spirit exists as a third unique expression of God. Holy Spirit draws people to belief and faith in Jesus. Holy Spirit also strengthens and gives power to those who follow Jesus as we learn to grow in our faith. Holy Spirit works in tandem with our human spirit, inspiring and equipping us to walk out our faith.
About Humankind
Humankind was created good and upright; for God said, "Let us make humanity in our image, after our likeness." However, by voluntary wrongdoing and willful disobedience, humanity fell out of relationship with God and fell prey to a broken and contrary sin nature which resulted in not only physical death; but spiritual death, which is separation from God.
About Salvation
We believe that salvation is God's free gift to us; that Jesus was crucified and died for our sin, was buried and on the third day rose again for the mediation of humanity. We can never make up for our sin through self-improvement or living well. It is only by trusting in and choosing to follow Jesus, and what he accomplished for us. Eternal life begins the moment one truly accepts Jesus into their life by faith through prayer. The inward evidence of accepting Jesus is the presence and leading of Holy Spirit. The outward evidence to all people is a life of righteousness and Godly holiness that serves as a credit to the message of Jesus as we grow and mature in our faith.
About the Bible
The Bible is God's Word given to every person. It was inspired by God and written by human authors under the supernatural guidance of Holy Spirit. It is the absolute and final source of truth for Christian beliefs and living.
Our Vision
To help each person feel like they belong, find hope in Jesus,
grow in their journey, and become someone who helps others to do the same.
Philippians 1:27
“Meanwhile, live in such a way that you are a credit to the Message of Christ.”

WHO WE ARE
A place to belong, hope, grow and become
Belong
It is God’s desire that every person finds belonging in relationship with Him.
Family isn’t something we have to earn or qualify for. We’re born in. Jesus alone makes that possible. Because of Jesus, we’ve been given a new nature as sons and daughters. No longer slaves, we’ve been set free.
Eph 2:19, Rom 6:6, Col 3:9-10, Eph 4:22-25
Hope
We unapologetically believe that only Jesus provides humanity with salvation and hope that never fails.
Every human needs a Saviour. Jesus alone is our way, our truth, and our life. We’re all invited to surrender ever part of our lives to the transforming hope of Jesus, the power of His Spirit, and the truth of Scripture.
John 3:16-21, 1 John 2:2, Heb 7:25, Romans 5:1-19
Grow
Spiritual growth is a lifelong commitment to being formed by Jesus and the Spirit.
To grow is the goal. Bit by steady bit, we’re all being formed into the image of His own dear Son. Spiritual disciplines and practices are a significant part of this. It is vital that we take ownership of our own spiritual growth and formation. We also believe that spiritual growth comes to life in our relationship with others. It happens in rows, but it thrives around tables. It’s messy and beautiful, and it’s worth it.
2 Cor 3:18, Col 3:16, John 15:4-5, Eph 3:17-18
Become
For every believer, there is a greater mission and purpose attached to how we live.
Becoming like Jesus is a deeper sacrifice in how we serve others, lay our lives down, and walk freely in love and forgiveness with the world around us. It’s choosing to surrender daily in how we’ve been commissioned and commanded to live. We make room for others. We look outside of ourselves. Jesus alone is our example for giving, serving, and laying our lives down for one another.
Phil 1:27, Matthew 28, Matthew 22, Col 3:1-3
