community Vision

Learning and Embodying the Way of Jesus.

As we embody the teachings of Jesus, our lives will bring glory to God and believe it will change the spiritual and social landscape of our community and everyday spaces of life.

Our community is formed around three cornerstones:

1. with Jesus

Belief:

Jesus is always with us. We can live in constant connection with Jesus. Abiding in his presence in every moment.

Practices:

We build our lives around the spiritual rhythms & disciplines of Jesus: fasting, the scriptures, praying, breaking bread, and gathering together for worship & teaching. (why we lead as a team)

2. NEw Family

Belief:

Jesus’ vision for humanity is to live as children of God in the family of God. Jesus calls those within this new family “brothers and sisters”. This is the church: New family.

Practices:

We practice new family by understanding our past, learning our God given identity, discovering our Kingdom purpose and reinforcing that we belong to Jesus through celebration, meals together, and loving one another through humility, peace, and unity.

3. SALT & Light

Belief:

To be salt and light we must be in the world like Jesus was in the world. We, like Jesus are here for the purpose of His Kingdom come in our world as it is in heaven. We choose to believe that embodying the way of Jesus is true, and works in the world.

Practices:

We practice this by living as a tangible presence though proximity, consistency, solidarity with the lost, the displaced, the broken, the isolated, the disenfranchised, those outside the walls, and seeking the presence of God to move in the city.

learn & Embody; a community of practice.

Jesus said, “You are my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings” and “Everyone then who HEARS these words of mine and DOES them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock”.

We believe the way of Jesus is exactly that (hearing and doing, not just hearing), the way of life to build our lives on through the ongoing rhythm of LEARNING and EMBODYING the way of Jesus led by the HOLY SPIRIT.

Whoever claims to live in Jesus must live as Jesus did. 1 John 2:6
