Who We Are

From the start, we have aimed to be a community of worship. 

We come as broken people before a glorious, forgiving God, the Son who died for our sins, and the Spirit who renews us. Our eclectic music — a joyful mix of styles ranging from ancient to modern, classical to folk to gospel — reflects our cosmopolitan, multiracial environment. We welcome you to visit and share in community with us.

What We Believe

Our Mission

Guided by the Holy Spirit and God's Word, we strive to know Jesus and make Him known through worship, discipleship, and acts of love.

Our Vision

We long to be a church community of Equipped Disciples, Enthusiastic Worshipers and Embodied Witnesses.

In Ephesians 4:11-16, Paul presents a vision for the church to strive after, a vision that has its leaders “building up” the people of Christ to maturity, to look more and more like Christ. Although we will never be a perfect representation of Christ, Paul boldly calls us to strive for this vision. 

  • What is Equipped Disciple?

    An equipped disciple is a mature follower of Christ who responds to life’s Blessings and challenges with the character of Christ rather than from the sinful nature. Such a disciple lives as a living sacrifice—dying to personal idolatries and living for the glory of Christ and the good of others.

  • What is an Enthusiastic Worshiper?

    The word enthusiasm has spiritual roots—referring to being filled with the Spirit, expressed in zeal and passion for Christ.

    This is not a forced or manufactured excitement, but the genuine overflow of the Spirit of Christ dwelling in us and shaping us as we grow in Him.

    We long to be a community marked by this Spirit-given enthusiasm, eagerly worshiping Christ and glorifying Him in everything we do.

  • What is an Embodied Witness?

    As equipped disciples who are enthusiastic about Worshiping Jesus, we expect to bring the good news and love of Jesus to our community and world. Equipped with his word and spirit, we seek to truly embody the grace, truth, and love of Jesus to all those we encounter.

Our Core Values

Service

We value serving our brothers, sisters, and neighbors.

Differences

We value the hard work of loving one another in the face of personal, political, and cultural differences.
