We started asking the question, “What if there’s more to church?” What if there’s more to Christianity than going to church once a week and reading our Bibles when we remember to (or when we finally feel guilty enough to dust it off)?
We believe there is.
What if we aren’t supposed to be “culturally relevant,” but countercultural?
What if the church actually looked different than the world around it? What if depression, anxiety, and divorce were not the norm? What if a need couldn’t be found in the church? What if we didn’t need a multi-million dollar budget, a building, and a large staff to reach people? What if the church didn’t require more of man’s wisdom, but less of it? What if instead of using talented worship leaders and celebrity pastors to attract people, we just used the Gospel? What if we were so deeply in love with one another that the world took notice? What if we actually devoted our lives to our Savior?
What if all we really need is more of Jesus?
We believe that’s the case.
We want to be a church that reflects what Jesus and the apostles established over 2,000 years ago: a loving family, devoted to scripture, driven by eternity, gathering regularly, giving generously, and making disciples.
Our goal is not to reach those already deeply connected to a local church, but those who have been marginalized. Those who have been treated as insignificant or peripheral by the church. We basically want to reach the exact people that Jesus ministered to when he was here on earth.
