Community Impact

God’s love is core to His identity and our own. It is God’s calling card, and it is what God calls us to. It is kind, compassionate, merciful, and just. It is powerful. It pierces hearts, breaks down barriers, and lifts people out of the depths of despair. It shines bright in darkness and offers hope and courage in the face of adversity.

We’ve all experienced insecurity, shame, or feelings of weakness. Exploring and leaning into the broken areas of our own life leads to healing and greater empathy for others.

God designed us for deep relationships, to be fully known and fully loved. He himself exists in relationship - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - and places us in a beautiful, relational community - the church. Relational community recognizes, encourages, sharpens, and celebrates diversity of person, thought, skills, abilities, and giftings. It says we're in it together.

Tuning into God’s work in and around us requires a humble posture of listening and learning. While we desire to grow in our expertise at caring for the vulnerable, poor, and marginalized, who we are becoming in Christ is more important than what we are doing for him. We want to be a community guided by the Holy Spirit so that we are awakened to God’s purposes.

Following God can be risky and hard. It requires courage to challenge assumptions, act according to the Spirit, and courageously step out of our comfort zones.
