Our vision and mission as a church is wrapped around the neighborhood. We believe that where we live matters and that we should take Jesus seriously when he calls us to “love our neighbor.” We believe that if we can be a part of creating and sustaining neighborhoods that care for each other we can affect change on lives and our entire community. What would it look like and how would it change our neighborhoods if we knew our neighbors and knew that they cared for us? We believe in starting “next door” and loving our neighborhoods as we know Jesus does.

One of the most significant parts in the formation of our life is the role our family has played. We know that everyone has a different experience of family not to mention that our families’ look and their makeup can be as varied as we are and we are okay with that! We want to be a part of creating, developing, sustaining, and supporting healthy families no matter how they look. Whether that is through our preschool, mentoring program, family ministries, seminars, workshops, or resources, everyone deserves to be a part of a healthy family.

In ancient times the well was the place where the community gathered, made connections, built relationships, shared information, and went away with life-giving water. This is exactly what we believe that any physical property that we own as a church should be. We want to steward our property, not to keep it pristine and closed off, but to be full of life and used to love our neighborhoods. So we have committed to developing, using, and opening up our property to better the lives, enhance the resources, and significantly connect our neighbors with one another.

When people gather together then significant things can happen, but it doesn’t always need to be flashy for something to happen. We take a more simple approach to our Sunday gatherings so that we can focus on loving our neighborhoods but we believe that it truly is meaningful for us to gather together on a regular basis. In addition to Sundays we seek to create meaningful gatherings throughout the week to encourage, build relationships, and address significant issues that our community and neighborhoods face.

We are grateful to be a part of an international church that wraps all around the globe and we are committed to building partnerships with missionaries and churches around the world to support the mission of the Gospel in neighborhoods around the world.
