Experience the Grace of Jesus
Led by our compassionate and dedicated pastoral team, we are committed to helping individuals experience the transformative grace of Jesus.
Through our holistic approach to discipleship, we aim to share a path towards spiritual growth and restoration.
What To Expect
We believe that everyone is loved by God, unconditionally, regardless of your past or present. His love is shown through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and we discover it through His grace and forgiveness.
Our mission is simple: to follow Jesus together toward healing and wholeness. We want to know Him more deeply, live in His love more fully, and reflect His restoring presence in our relationships, our city, and our world. Through worship, spiritual practices, and everyday faithfulness, we’re learning to walk in His way—the way of the Cross that leads to life.
As a community, we are all on a journey of becoming whole. We don’t pretend to have it all together. We’re people in process—being transformed by the love of Jesus. In Him, we find forgiveness, freedom, and healing for the wounds we carry and the wrongs we’ve done. And He empowers us to be agents of healing in the lives of others.
We invite you to join us as we grow together in grace, practice the way of Jesus, and seek the kind of peace—shalom—that only He can give.

Our Values
We are committed to living out the values of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our mission is to follow Jesus together toward healing and wholeness.
Grace
We live in the freedom of God’s grace—freely loved, fully forgiven, and forever welcomed into His presence through the Cross. Grace is not something we earn, but the gift that changes everything: it tears down every barrier between us and God, and reshapes our identity as beloved children who live from His love, not for it.
Love
We are committed to loving God and loving others. The love of God is displayed in Christ on the Cross, reconciling the world to Himself. We are learning to follow the example of Jesus to be known for our sacrificial, reconciling, and healing love. His love is holy, and we are learning to walk in the holiness of His love.
Worship
We live lives of worship by practicing the way of Jesus according to Scripture. As disciples, we learn from Him, follow Him, and allow His Spirit to shape every part of our lives as we offer our selves as spiritual acts of worship.
Wholeness
We believe Jesus invites us into healing and wholeness - restoring our relationships with God, ourselves, others, and creation as part of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.
Evangelism
We joyfully invite others into the love of Jesus by bearing witness to His grace, embodying His story, and proclaiming the good news that through Him, all people are welcomed into healing, wholeness, and life with God.
Service
We join God’s mission of restoration by serving our neighbors and our world. Through acts of justice, mercy, and compassion, we seek to bring healing and wholeness to those who feel wounded and broken.
Stewardship
We strive to be wise stewards of the resources God has given us, using them to meet the needs of the church and community.
Presence
We value slowing down to be present—with God, with each other, and with our neighbors—so that we can listen, love, and reflect the nearness of Christ in a distracted world.
Mission
We seek to fulfill the Great Commission, making disciples of Jesus Christ in our region and beyond.
Our Beliefs
We invite you to explore our beliefs and join us in our journey with Jesus.
God is Love
We believe in one God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—who exists in perfect love. God created the world in love, came to save it in love, and invites us to live in that love every day.
John 17; 1 John 4:7-12
Jesus Shows Us Who God Is
Jesus is God in the flesh. He taught, healed, forgave, died for our sins, and rose again to offer us new life. When we look at Jesus, we see what God is really like.
John 1:14; Colossians 1:15; 1 Peter 2:21-24; Romans 6:5
The Bible Tells the Story
The Bible is God’s story—breathed out by the Spirit, shaped in community, and centered on Jesus. It teaches us how to know God, live with one another, and join God’s mission of love.
2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 1:1-2; Luke 24:27
We Were Made for Wholeness
God made humanity in His image—created to live in loving relationship with God, others, ourselves, and creation. Sin broke that relationship and left the world hurting and divided.
Genesis 1:26-27; Genesis 3; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23
Jesus Brings Us Back to Life
Salvation means being rescued, healed, and made whole through Jesus. When we trust Him, we are made new, filled with His Spirit, and invited into His family forever.
John 3:16; Romans 10:9-10; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 2:4-10
His Spirit Empowers Us to Be His Body
Jesus didn’t just invite individuals into His love—He created a new kind of community. The Church is a Spirit-filled family of people learning to walk in His way together. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are united with Christ and with one another, growing into maturity, practicing love, offering our gifts, and continuing Jesus’ ministry in the world. The Spirit empowers us to worship, to serve, to resist evil, to make disciples, and to build each other up in love—so that, together, we might become a living picture of the Kingdom of God.
