We have been given the power of the Holy Spirit to live out our purposes as followers of Jesus—to be witnesses of Jesus—for the sake of our cities, our regions, our countries, and to the nations.

Followers of Jesus are called to be like Jesus, which includes serving one another as we become people of love. We actively demonstrate self-sacrificial love by serving the people around us—and by serving those who are part of our community.

Generosity is personally transformational and communally impactful—it grows our trust in Jesus and aligns our hearts with his.

The context for following Jesus was relationship with Jesus and with others, the course for following Jesus was experiences with him and with others, and the content for following Jesus was God’s truth lived out.

We want to be people empowered by the Holy Spirit as he redeems, sanctifies, and heals our whole being, preparing us for effective gospel ministry in the world.

Scripture reveals the wisdom of God about himself and the way God designed the world to work, and it invites us into the journey of character transformation so that we live well in the world as God intends.

Jesus’ resurrection brings hope in the face of our present loss and our greatest fear.

The church is God's community sent into the world to reach one more.

When we follow Jesus, we are given a new identity—we are called to proclaim God's praises and we are called to live differently from the culture around us.

When you live a life of invitation, you help others take a step toward encountering Jesus. Every Christian can invite others to come, see, and experience Jesus.
