Let us start by saying that we think church should be simple. Not to say that we don't have many areas for you to be involved in (we do), or that we don't dive deeply into Scripture (we do), but simple in the fact that we focus the majority of our efforts on true life change. We really believe that everything we do should make it easy to find and experience God, so much so that it is our mission statement!
- CORE VALUES
- Without a rock-solid set of values, it's very easy to lose your way. Our values are clear, we want to always be Christ-centered, Grace-filled, and compassionate. We are outwardly focused, meaning we put a lot of time and effort into reaching the people of our community for Christ, not just those who are weekly attendees (although we love them too). We are constantly trying to find new ways to be relational and relevant. We want everything we do to have a real meaning to you and be something you can put into practice on a daily basis. Our drive to be creative is evident in all that we do. If the Message doesn't get your attention because of the way we present it, then we aren't doing our job correctly. We operate with integrity at all times. Obviously, none of us are perfect and we're no strangers to failure and defeat, but as an organization we realize that we must be open and honest with everyone at all times.
