Mission Statement
To know Christ, so that we may be transformed into his likeness, and to make him known, so that God's grace, healing, and hope flow through us to the world.

• We believe God is a God of love, and created us in his own image. Further, God wants us to live at peace with him, with each other, and with the world.
• We believe sin destroys the harmony in God's creation when we try to run our own lives apart from God. Suffering, greed, violence, and broken relationships between God and others result.
• We believe Jesus confronted the powers of evil that fracture the world, and died on the cross to release us from sin's power. The resurrection of Jesus demonstrates his power over even death.
• We believe that, because of what Jesus achieved in his death and resurrection, every person can have a new beginning by the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. Through confession and repentance, God forgives our sins and gives us new life by the power of the Holy Spirit.
• We believe that Jesus Christ is central to both our personal and corporate lives, and that we are called to follow Jesus faithfully in all of life.
