A church for the rest of us.
First things first—we are a Church. We stand boldly on the truths of scripture and guide people towards practicing ways of Jesus in an increasingly restless world.
So, if you have never been to church, walked away from the church, or have struggled to find a church to connect with - you belong here.
-
We exist to help you experience God, find community, and do something that matters.

JESUS - Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God, who died for our sins and rose from the dead so that we as people could have an eternal relationship with God. (1 Corinthians 15: 1-8; John 3:16)
THE BIBLE - The Bible is the authoritative and accurate account of who God is, what He has done, and how we should live. The 66 books of the Old and New Testament, written by human authors and inspired by the Holy Spirit, are without error in their original form and are the primary way God still speaks to us today. The Bible is our source of truth that leads to the best life possible. (2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 119:105, Hebrews 4:12, 2 Pet 1:19-21)
SIN - Sin is humanity’s and the world’s greatest problem. When Adam and Eve disobeyed God, humanity’s relationship with Him was fractured and every person since has been disobedient (sinful) by nature and by choice. As a result, we are separated from God and deserve to be judged by God. Our lives and the world are marked by the brokenness that sin creates. Genesis 3, Matthew 12:36, Romans 3:10-23, Hebrews 9:27)
FORGIVENESS - Forgiveness of sins and the promise of eternal life are available to those who trust Christ as Savior and Lord. (John 3:16)
SALVATION -Those accepting Christ should repent of sin, confess their faith, and be baptized into him. (Romans 10:9; Acts 2:38)
THE CHURCH - The Church is the people of God set apart for the mission of God. It is composed of every genuine believer in Jesus Christ for all time. We are knit together to become the body and bride of Christ, having a special relationship with God with a corresponding special assignment from God: the Great Commission. Every Christian should belong to and actively participate in a local church, which is an organized and localized expression of the worldwide community of believers. (Matthew 28:19-20, Acts 2:42-47, Ephesians 4:1-16)
MARRIAGE, SEXUALITY, AND GENDER IDENTITY - God established a permanent pattern for marriage, sexuality, and gender at creation and reaffirmed it throughout Scripture. He created humanity with two distinct, complementary genders—male and female—and each person's biological gender is an intrinsic, immutable aspect of his or her nature and identity. God designed marriage to be an exclusive, lifelong covenant between one man and one woman that serves His purposes in the world and reflects His relationship with His people. Sex is a gift from God to be enjoyed exclusively within the covenant of marriage, and any intimate expression of sexuality outside of Biblical marriage is sin. (Genesis 1:26-28, Matthew 19:4-9, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 & 18, Ephesians 5:21-33)
