Gospel.
The Gospel changes everything! It is the good news that out of the love the Father had for his creation, he chose to send his Son to redeem the world through his life, death, resurrection, and ascension. It's not just good news for those that are searching for Christ but it's also the motivation, power, and purpose for everything that we do as disciples. The gospel calls us into the family of God and sends us out together on the mission of making disciples that make disciples. (John 3:16-21; Ephesians 2:10, 14-22; 2 Corinthians 5:15-21)
Family.
We have been adopted as sons and daughters and set apart to live in such a way that the world would know of God's goodness, faithfulness, and love. As the family of God, we see it as both our duty and our joy to care for the needs of one another. Just as Christ came to serve, we are to serve one another both physically and spiritually. We disciple, nurture, worship, and hold one another accountable to this Gospel life together in Missional Communities. (John 1:12-13; Romans 12:10-16; Ephesians 1:5; Philippians 2:1-11)
Mission.
The Father sent his Son to earth to take on human form and live within the culture. He lived in such a way that those around him could see and experience what God was truly like. Jesus came so that all people, places and things could be restored to a right relationship with God. In the same way, we believe we are missionaries sent by God’s Spirit into our culture to restore all things to God through Jesus. We do this as a family in Missional Communities. (Matthew 28:19; John 1:14, 20:21; Colossians 1:19)
our rhythms
Gathered
We gather weekly as the whole church to meet with God and reorient our worship around Jesus. We come together to remind one another of our identity in Christ through singing, scripture reading, prayer, preaching of God's word, and taking communion.
Scattered
We scatter throughout the week in missional communities. Missional communities are small groups where we live as a family of servant missionaries in life’s everyday rhythms. MCs are the primary place we grow in Christ-centered community and live life on mission.
“...and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”

We shouldn't be surprised by suffering. Even more, we ought to rejoice in what it produces in and for us and be ready to tell unbelievers why we have such hope in the midst of it.
