Vision/Mission
 
Our Mission
We exist to continually invite people to be filled with New Life in Jesus Christ.
 
How We Do That
We do that by creating a vibrant and ever-expanding community of faith, where people are real and no church-experience is required. It is a place to become passionate about...
 
Growing in Grace … from God and with each other
Getting Connected … in Groups and on Teams
Sharing God’s Love … locally, regionally and globally
 
Our New Life DNA
N
o “Church Experience” Required: We love new people! Our VIPs are our first time guests, not those who have been here the longest. We welcome you just as you are! No church background. No special clothes. No Bible knowledge required. No matter where you are on your spiritual journey, you are welcome and encouraged to explore the Bible, Jesus, and the Christian faith with us, at your own pace. This is an easy place to attend and invite friends.
E
xceptional Health: We are contagious with joy, honor, and gratitude. This is a positive, joy-filled place. We believe the best in people, and speak vision and life over them. We are a generation of honor, known for what we are for, not against. We are FOR seeing broken lives changed by Christ. We are FOR loving and serving others. We are FOR generosity. We are FOR new beginnings. We are FOR communicating in gracious, rather than judgmental, ways. And we are FOR seeing all churches rise up and advance the gospel. We are united around our mission, and aggressively defend our unity.
W
ow Worship Services: We boldly celebrate Jesus and His extravagant grace, passionately honor God’s Word, and attract people who are far from Him. We design services where all ages leave filled-up and fired-up to take on a new week. Whether you are exploring who Christ is, or have been following him for years, you will find it easy to grow in the Lord and experience the life changing and healing presence of the Holy Spirit.
L
ife Groups & Life Teams: Life happens when you get connected. We structure for relationships, because we cannot become or accomplish everything God wants by ourselves. We do this through our small groups, called “Life Groups” and our serving teams, called “Life Teams”. All ages can discover and experience the growth, joy, and care that result from our ever-expanding groups and teams. The primary care of our church happens through being connected in a Life Group.
I
ntentional Simplicity: We limit our platform so we can unleash our ministry. We believe we can accomplish more through the simple platform of groups and teams, than through a multitude of programs and events. This enables us to leverage our resources and people for maximum results, both inside and outside the church. Our simplicity enables us to reach more, accomplish more, and enjoy more.
F
uture Leaders: Our kids and teens love our church, and we love and invest in them. We are models to the next generation of what it is to be passionate about Christ, His Church, and making a positive difference in the world. We will involve them in the church, and successfully pass the baton of faith and leadership to them.
E
xtraordinary Commitment: We are honored to have dirty jerseys, and refuse to ride the bench or sit in the bleachers. Our staff and church reaches beyond to give sacrificially to the work of God locally, regionally and globally. We honor God with our audacious faith, ridiculous generosity, courageous leadership, and uncompromised integrity. We unapologetically measure our progress, and adapt what we do, so that it is culturally relevant and highly effective. To attain this, we assume a posture of learning and being humble. It's not about us – its all about Jesus, and all for Jesus!
