Relationships are central to God’s dream for His creation. God created all persons to live as part of a community – in relationship with Him, with each other, and with the world in which we live. We give priority to promoting and developing healthy, authentic relationships in which we treat others as Jesus did – with respect, understanding, forgiveness, and self-sacrificing love.

The central relationship in our life must be with Jesus. As we come to know Jesus, we will desire and be empowered by God’s Spirit to live more like Him. We passionately seek to trust and follow Jesus, so that we might grow in faith and live in the way of Jesus in the world.

Jesus came so that we might have more and better life than we ever dreamed of. We will journey life with eyes wide open, discovering and helping others discover the more and better life Jesus promises – a life of adventure fueled by freedom, guided by purpose, and radiant with joy.

God cares about the emotional, spiritual, and physical health of all people. He created us to be whole. We seek to be a community that is so connected with His life-giving presence that broken, lonely, and hurting people will find hope, healing, and wholeness.

Jesus came not to be served, but to serve. God gifts and empowers everyone so that we might also be servants in our world. We desire to be servant-hearted people and life-long learners. Through teaching, training, and mentoring relationships we will discover, develop, and creatively employ our gifts to serve those around us.

God blesses and transforms us not only for our own sake but for the benefit of others. We want to be a blessing to our world. We will actively and passionately seek to share the life of freedom, joy, and purpose which we have discovered in Jesus with our neighbours next door and around the world.
