Gospel.
We believe the good news about Jesus’ life, death and resurrection. By the grace of God alone, through faith in Christ alone, we’ve been granted a righteousness not our own. By this grace, our relationship to God is restored, makes us his children and gives us responsibility to take part in his on-going redeeming work in the world. The gospel is the foundation of the church, motivating us to embody Jesus’ ways, while empowering us for selfless service and proclamation to all people.

Family.
The most frequent metaphor used to describe God’s people throughout Scripture is family, and as adopted sons and daughters through our faith in Christ- that is what we are! This means we have a shared identity, we are not alone, we work together, we honor one another above ourselves, we encourage, we support, care for those in need, and seek out others to become a part of our family. We acknowledge family can
be messy, and that is why we go back to the gospel to remind us of who we are and whose we are to keep us moving forward in the miracle of becoming a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit.

Movement.
Good news is meant to be shared with others, which means the church not only gathers, but goes. We follow Jesus’ command to make disciples of all nations by sending, supporting, and going to new spaces, neighborhoods, and countries. Gospel movement happens by planning and spontaneity, by decision-making and risk taking, in forms and creativity. It’s all an adventure following the Spirit and working together to make Christ known by word and deed, while establishing churches who continue the journey far and wide.
