Why we exist

Our mission is to see the broken transformed by the grace of God.

We value the glory of God in the grace of Jesus Christ. We desire to give God all the glory for all that Jesus has accomplished in us and for us by His grace. We believe God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. Often, this satisfaction and delighting of our souls in Christ is expressed through the simple act of authentic worship. Our worship gatherings (services) give space for believers to worship God expressively and whole-heartedly, without the burdens of religiosity or the judgment of others. Expect vibrant singing and freedom of expression in our gatherings.

We value the presence of the Kingdom of God as it enters into our lives in a transformational way. We give room for the presence and power of the Holy Spirit to minister to people through prayer, anointing with oil, and the release of the gifts of the Spirit. Expect time set aside in our services and Connect Groups for prayer ministry.

We value the Bread and the Cup. As New Covenant believers, we highly value the presence of Christ in the Bread and the Cup. We understand that these elements minister the abundant banquet of blessings that the Finished Work of the Cross has accomplished for us. Expect time around Communion in our services.
