What does it mean to have community? How do we “do” church? We give ourselves permission to ask some hard questions in our journey with one another and with Christ. Sometimes, being sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit leads us down the unworn path. While remaining true to the “non-negotiables” of our saving faith in Him, we must not be afraid to take a step back from time to time and ask, “what is the way we should go?”. We believe we grow as Christians when change is grasped as opportunity, and when the Holy Spirit is obeyed.

We strive for the feel and atmosphere of our church to be informal, welcoming. Taking our mission seriously while not necessarily taking ourselves too seriously. Our bricked walls adorned with ever-changing art displays, the rumble of the occasional train joins the chorus of worship on a Sunday morning. A safe place to let down our hair, singing praises with coffee in hand, basking in the love of the Father.

We recognize that many have taken this Christian journey before us, and while we honor the rich heritage of the past we must not be strictly bound by it. Our understanding of the scriptures is renewed by taking an expository approach to our learning and teaching. We refresh and renew our church community by continually examining our grasp of the richness of scripture.

Christ calls us to dedicate our lives to Him. He calls us to have servant hearts and to live for the benefit of one another. We commit to being “all in”, to doing what it takes, to be responsive to His call even when the cost is high. We journey together, encouraging and holding one another accountable to the awesome responsibility that is living the Christian life.

We belong to an ever-shifting, mobile society. We hope that many will raise families in, and be part of, our church for years to come. We also acknowledge the reality that other members of our church family are with us only for a special season of their lives. We thank God for entrusting us with all who walk through our doors. As such, we aim to equip and powerfully release our church family to be the hands, feet, and mouth of Christ in a world with a desperate need of the message of Christ.
