Our Mission
To create a local church community that earnestly wants God, wholeheartedly walks in the way of Jesus, and humbly waits on the Holy Spirit for the renewal of all things.
Our desire for God is the most fundamental part of what makes us who we are. In Athens, Paul noted that God moved in such a way that "...we would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us." Our hope is that we might create a community where truth-seekers from all walks of life can find and worship the One their soul desires.
We are surrounded by countless choices of ways to follow in this life. It is our aim to lead people to the one way that leads to human flourishing, the way of Jesus. Our church exists to help people walk in this narrow but beautiful way.
God is already on a mission to renew all things. This means that God is seeking out people who don't yet know who he is; God is fighting injustice; God is restoring creation and reconciling people to each other and to himself. It's a huge mission, and our hope is that we might have the humility to join with what God is already doing to bring about renewal in our families, our workplaces, our schools, our neighborhoods, our cities and beyond.

BELIEFS
Our denomination, the Evangelical Covenant Church, is unique in its posture toward doctrine. While we highly value the historic doctrines of the church and both the Nicene Creed and Apostle's Creed, we recognize first and foremost that Scripture takes precedent even over the doctrines of the church. The six affirmations below help give understanding and voice to this unique posture.
1. We affirm the centrality of the Word of God.
2. We affirm the necessity of new birth
3. We affirm a commitment to the whole mission of the Church
4. We affirm the Church as a fellowship of believers
5. We affirm a conscious dependence on the Holy Spirit
6. We affirm the reality of freedom in Christ
