Our Strategy

BE WITH GOD | BE WITH OTHERS | BE SENT
To carry out the mission of God and fulfill the vision He has given us, we want to live and love like Jesus.  Jesus had a deep, intimate relationship with God, and He nurtured authentic community among His followers and fulfilled the purpose for which He was sent to earth.  Living and loving like Jesus involves being with God, being with others, and being sent.

"I am the vine; you are the branches.
If you remain in me and I in you,
you will bear much fruit;
apart from me you can do nothing."
JOHN 15:5
 

BE WITH GOD
Being WITH God Over Doing FOR God

Often, we measure our effectiveness as followers of Jesus (disciples) by how much we are doing for God. However, our effectiveness does not start with doing for God, but by being with Him. This example was set by Jesus and has been followed by his disciples ever since.

BE WITH OTHERS
Transformation Happens BEST in Community

We are designed for community—for living life in deep relationship with others. Within this context, as we courageously embrace openness and vulnerability, we are transformed to be more like Jesus. We come together to find love, support, and encouragement so that we may go out and fulfill God’s mission. This is the example set by Jesus and His followers.

BE SENT
We LOVE and SERVE Wherever God Places Us

God began sending people in the beginning. God’s command to the first man and woman was, “Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, and subdue it.” God sent the first humans. God’s pattern of sending continues throughout the Bible. It culminates in sending His Son to reconcile all things to Himself and sending His Spirit upon His Church to pursue his mission. God is sending His church now as His empowered and gifted people to live lives devoted to loving Him and loving others, especially the hopeless and marginalized.
