How We Live This Out:
GOSPEL
The Gospel is the good news about what God has done through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ to save sinners who respond by repenting of their sins and receiving Christ. This good news is central to our identity and activity as disciples and as a church.
FAMILY
The Gospel makes us a family. The good news of Jesus not only reunites people to God, but it unites people into a community – where God is Father and church is family. A family that is vibrant, diverse and growing as the gospel transforms lives and desires to love God deeper and love others better. There are few things more refreshing than experiencing the unconditional love and authenticity of a community marked with the grace and hope of the Gospel. For us this community is family – and you’re invited to the table.
SENT
The Gospel makes us a family sent out on purpose– to delight in, declare and display this gospel to the world in word and deed. This means that our jobs, education, neighborhoods, and resources are tools and platforms to share the love and truth of Jesus. In other words, this gospel that saves us and makes us family is the same gospel that sends us on mission with God for the good of others.
