MISSION: WE EXIST TO HELP PEOPLE EXPERIENCE LIFE WITH JESUS.

We are a people of truth and love.        

We are a place to belong.

We are a church with purpose.       

A PLACE TO BELONG

Then Jesus’ mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him.  A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.”  “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked.

Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Whoever does God’s will is my brother and sister and mother.”      Mark 3:31 - 35

The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him, we cry, “Abba, Father.” 

Romans 8:15

Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household.     Ephesians 2:19

Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers,  older women as mothers, and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity. 

1 Timothy 5:1 - 2

For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function,  so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others.      Romans 12:4 - 5

WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE TO BE A PLACE OF BELONGING?

JOY

For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness, made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.      2 Corinthians 4:6

LOVE

“By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”       John 13:35

VULNERABILITY 

“Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed.”       James 5:16a

HOSPITALITY 

Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters. Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.  

Hebrews 13:1, 2
