Peacemaking doesn’t involve judge. Instead, it means comes alongside, readily admitting our own failures and “beams,” bringing grace and truth into the relationship.

God’s people are those who make and create peace. When we make peace like Jesus did for us, we have evidence that we are filled with the Holy Spirit and that we are children of God.

Followers of Jesus are called to make other followers of Jesus—disciples are called to make other disciples. And this priority extends to our entire church: making disciples and developing leaders who take the call of Jesus seriously.

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.
