We are not always polished, and we don’t pretend to have all the answers. We are not afraid to struggle honestly with difficult topics. Rather, we are a community on a continual search to know and love God more deeply. We are a diverse collection of people from many states and countries, with different educational backgrounds, different religious roots, and different family situations, all united in our fascination with and desire to follow Christ.

we embrace all and respect each other’s differences
we value integrity and push for transparency
we are uncomfortable with performance and disinterested in polish
we move towards hard questions and away from pad answers
we hug and we eat together
we come from all corners of the globe
we’re not interested in facades rather revel in earthy and raw personalities
we aim to keep God big and have no use for a God-in-a-box
we believe in miracles and expect God to hear our prayers
we love those with and those without
we are a church in progress, always changing, evolving and recreating, yet aware that God never changes and His love for us is firm and secure.
