We believe Jesus is the Lord.  We believe that the Lord Jesus invites everyone, everywhere to be in relationship with him.  This is the starting point of a transformed life and an important step of the journey.  Believing in Jesus is not, however, the finish point of the journey.

Beyond faith in Jesus, we have 4 core values.  They are:

• Fun.  We believe that Jesus came to help us live life in the fullest.  We want full life to start now, and we believe that church is a fun place.  We do all kinds of fun things as a church.
• Acceptance.  We look at the world that God has created and see a wonderful mosaic of colors, languages, ages, experiences and tastes.  We believe the church must reflect this wonderful mosaic.
• Spiritual Transformation.  We believe that when God starts to work on people’s hearts, amazing things begin to happen.  Our church’s job is to help people know Jesus and become a new creation.
• Outward focus.  We are convinced that church is about serving our neighbors, not ourselves.
