Our Mission
To equip the church body to embrace its true identity, live with compassion, and transform our cities. This means actively engaging in our communities. We bring Food and Prayer to those in need, Smiles and Hugs for those craving human connection, Joy and Tears for those feeling alone, and Truth and Hope for those who feel lost. We're called to address areas of brokenness and injustice both locally and globally, showing God’s love through His peace, presence, and power. We aim to see our neighbors thrive with the fruits of the Spirit, embodying a lifestyle of justice, peace, mercy, and righteousness. We do this by building genuine friendships, reconciling, learning from, serving, advocating, supporting, and dreaming alongside our neighbors.
FAQs
How Do I Check-in my student?
You will find our team ready to greet you at Check-in. Check-in begins 15 minutes before each service.
What is your security policy?
We take your child’s safety seriously. Upon checking in your child, you will receive a parent/guardian tag. This tag includes a unique code, randomly assigned to you at check in for that particular day. Only the parent/guardian who drops your child off and has the pickup tag, is permitted to pick up the child. If the parent or guardian chooses to hand this pickup tag to someone else, they will be permitted to pick up the child, so long as the secure code on the child’s name tag and parent/guardian pickup tag match.
How will you get ahold of me if my child needs me?
If your child needs you during the service your Security Tag code will appear on the screen in the auditorium. If you do not respond to the code on the screen we will then text you at the phone number you provided at Check-in.
If my child is nervous, can I stay in the classroom?
Our Kids areas are a secured area. Only our background checked Kids Leaders are permitted in the classrooms. We have an experienced team and many leaders who are capable of making sure each child is well cared for. If your child needs your attention, we will contact you via the Security Tag code on the screen in the auditorium or a text message.
What is your bathroom policy?
Please take young children to the restroom prior to dropping them off in the classroom. If your child needs you for a diaper change or a bathroom break we will page for you.
Our vision is to equip the church body to walk in its true identity, live with compassion, and transform the cities we live in. Practically, this looks like going out into the communities where we reside and work. We bring Food and Prayer for those in need, Smiles and Hugs for those desperate for healthy human interaction, Joy and Tears for those who need to feel they are not alone, and Truth and Hope for those who feel lost and forgotten. We're called to engage fully with areas of brokenness and injustice, both locally and globally.
We show God’s love in real ways through His peace, presence, and power. We want to see our neighbors' lives flourish with the fruit of the spirit as they embody a resurrection lifestyle of justice, peace, mercy, and righteousness. Our goal is to see our city transformed by God's transforming presence. Our heart is to seek the welfare of our city and to see God’s world become what He intended. We do this by building genuine friendships, reconciling with, learning from, serving, advocating, supporting, and dreaming with our neighbors.
