KNOW Jesus Intimately

Part of our mission is to KNOW Jesus—to immerse ourselves in the story of Jesus while seeking to know Jesus personally and intimately. We pursue such knowledge of Jesus through our rhythms of weekly worship and daily devotional practices. A lifelong cultivation of wisdom and wonder is essential to our pursuit of knowing Jesus.

DO Mission with God

Never on our own, we DO mission with God our Father, living and loving like his son Jesus. We pursue this mission primarily in home groups, where we take up Christian practices together. We lean into partnership with key local and global mission partners, and encourage imaginative ways of serving. A core priority in our mission work is the restoration of the vulnerable.

BE Transformed by the
Holy Spirit

Another part of our mission is to BE transformed—to experience the ongoing reshaping of our character, heart, and convictions through the work of the Holy Spirit. We see evidence of the Spirit’s transforming work in stories and people. This spiritual transformation requires both city connection and a core commitment to journeying side-by-side in the way of Jesus.

TOGETHER

Put it all together, and our mission is to KNOW Jesus intimately, BE transformed by the Spirit, and DO mission with God…TOGETHER.

“Together” is no afterthought or merely convenient tag at the end—togetherness is essential to all the ways we pursue knowledge, presence, and action as a faith community. We pursue this togetherness by prioritizing whole family formation.
