We want to help bring change to the way people view Christianity, the local Church, and Jesus.

Christianity was never meant to be married to a specific class, race, status, nation, or political affiliation.

It was never meant to be known by a posture of aggressive attacks or entitlement.

It was ALWAYS a path of humility, grace, and love.

Why are there so many people outside of Christianity who have never been introduced to the true grace and love of God in the gospel?

We want to help bring change to people’s views and experience of Christianity.

Jesus sent the Spirit and the Spirit launched the church with the mission of making disciples, taking the love and redemptive plan of God to those throughout the earth.

The church was never meant to be characterized by glitz, entertainment, and celebrity hype.

It was always a pathway of cost. Of sacrifice. Of counting others more significantly than we count ourselves.

Yet so many people tell stories of the horrific treatment and abuses that occurred within what was supposed to be the “family of God…the body of Christ.” This must change.

We want to help bring change to people’s experience in the local church.

Jesus has been defaced and disfigured in our common era—blending into a religious syncretism. In many places, people have “created Jesus into their own image,” an image of what they want Jesus to be like.

• The Health/Wealth/Prosperity Jesus

• The Celebrity Guru Jesus

• The Sinner’s Prayer with No Transformation Jesus

• The God-Ordained Best Life Now Jesus

• The Bible Belt Jesus

How do we follow Jesus when it’s taught and ingrained in us to be #1, to be the greatest at all costs, to be prideful and self-serving?

Would we even recognize the type of sacrifice, care, and humility Jesus would want to build into communities in our time?

He rebuked leaders for using Him for an entertainment piece in His day—but it’s a valued leadership trick to grow numbers in our day.

We want to help bring change to people’s view of who Jesus is and what He has accomplished for them in His life, death, and resurrection.

Learning the love of the Father instead of earning the love of the Father. 

Religion and legalistic moralism says "I live a good life, therefore God will accept me." 

The gospel contradicts that and says, "I am accepted and loved by God because of what Christ accomplished for me, therefore in response, I love and serve Him."

The difference between those two ideas will lead to either rigid moral exertion or debauchery in the former view or enjoying and pleasuring in God from the latter view.  

Learning to love one another!

In response to what Christ has accomplished for us, we both respond to the gospel message in awe and worship and at the same time are being shaped by the gospel message in humble orthodoxy and obedience. 

If we have understood the gospel of Christ, we want to love what He loves. 

We are a people still struggling in sin, but redeemed. We are a people still needing hope, repentance, renewal, and transformation through the Holy Spirit. 

We are learning to love one another and to love the city well. Notice we say "learning." Too often, "churchy people" give off an air of arrogance or self-righteousness. We are not better than others. We are not a better church than others. We are actually learning how much more we need to cling to Christ and His gospel as we engage in the city. 

Learning to love the city!

We easily assume that we love the city. But do you really love all parts and all people in the city? 

Our hope is to be a community of people growing in their awareness of Jesus' love for them as well as bringing that love to bear in our relatioships in our homes and community. 

As we grow in our awareness that Jesus truly changes everything, we want to see the gospel renew the places we go for work, entertainment, food, fun, and community.
