We come
together around a set of common themes that join our hearts together and
our lives to that of Jesus. We want to pursue and discover all that it
means to be in life with God and be a people who are chasing after life in
the Kingdom that is both now and not yet.
To live that kind of life together, we pursue the following.
-
Life with Jesus
- We are convinced that our lives were made to be lived with Jesus. To
that end we pursue life with Him through the Bible and prayer, listening
to the Spirit, looking for Him in the world around us, encouraging each
other in the journey and developing spiritual practices in our lives that
draw us closer to Him.
-
The Kingdom of
God - We are convinced that the Kingdom of God is not a someday thing
for which we have to sit around and wait. We choose to participate in what
God is doing right now through giving to organizations all over the world
that engage in Kingdom issues like poverty and disease and hunger. We also
engage locally with ministries and organizations that are investing in the
lives of people. Finally, we recognize that as followers of Jesus we carry
the Kingdom with us as we go and we seek to live life in a way that
reflects that responsibility and invites people around us to experience
life with God.
-
Community -
We are convinced that life with God is not meant to be done in isolation.
We choose to pursue life and faith together. To encourage and challenge
and enjoy one another as friend and partners in the life to which God has
called us.
-
Creativity -
We are convinced that we are made in the image and likeness of a creative
God. As bearers of that image, we choose to live lives of creativity that
explore ways of expressing our hearts to God and to the world around us
through the creation of art and music and story and photography and
whatever else we might be inspired to create. We do not create for
evaluation, simply to express what God has placed in our hearts.
