Our mission is to allow the Gospel to make us Rethink our worldview, to help us Renew our heart and allow us to Respond in love to our city and world.

RETHINK – The TRUTH of the Gospel (the person and completed work of Jesus) causes us to rethink our natural assumptions about God, ourselves and the world around us. Our desire, with God’s help, is to critically examine our assumptions and be constantly challenged by the Gospel to know God as he has revealed himself through his Word and nature.

RENEW – The HOPE of the Gospel (that we are desperately wicked and yet immeasurably loved) brings us to a life of repentance, which renews our relationship with God, our Creator. This primary relationship restored then renews all other relationships. Our desire, with God’s help, is to help grow the Gospel in each other by seeing God’s work in all things and all people and as we discover the depths to which we are loved in spite of our sin, that we might love others in spite of their differences.

RESPOND – The EFFECT of the Gospel (that Jesus brings LIFE beyond existence) causes us to respond in a radically new way being transformed to serve God joyfully by joining in his work. Our desire, with God’s help, is to serve our city and our neighborhoods while constantly reminding each other of God’s command and our privilege to spread the Gospel through word and deed.
