NATURAL & FRESH
Our Vision:
A Jesus Church
Our Focus, Our Treasure, Our Everything
"But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead." (Philippians 3:7-11)
Our Values
We Desire Intimacy With God
We were created to know and enjoy God. We long to experience His heart up close. When we gather, we gather to encounter Him with uninhibited praise and heartfelt worship. We want hearts that burn in response to His love and greatness. (Ps.27:4; 42:1&2; Ps.73:25-28; 84:1-4,10; Gal. 4:6; Luke 10:38-42)
We Live From The Gospel
We base everything we do on the love of the Father, the finished work of Jesus, and the power of the Spirit. Our desire is a culture where we operate from God’s presence instead of striving for His approval. We joyfully call people to adoption as sons and daughters. (Eph.2:4-10; Gal.4:4-7; 2 Cor. 5:20 & 21; Phil.3:7-11)
We Champion People
We believe that the love and grace of Jesus is greater than anyone’s sin or brokenness. Hope for a beautiful future, not slavery to the past is the posture we take with people. We seek a community that: sees the one, values all generations, leads from relationship, welcomes into community, holds honor high, belongs like a family, disciples into health, and celebrates other’s greatness. (1John 4:7-12; Acts 9:26-28; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Acts 2:42-47; Luke 15:3-31; Mark 12:31)
We Dream With God
We believe that God has incredible dreams in His heart for the Church and He’s inviting us to partner with them. We operate in a culture of faith that believes God for the impossible no matter how big the obstacle or how radical the dream. (Isaiah 43:18-21; Jeremiah 29:11-14, 32:27; Nehemiah 1:4-8; Genesis 18:14; Luke 1:37; Matthew 19:25-30)
