six attributes in the first church that we value and aim to embody today
We Are a…
Loving Family
We are a community of believers that gather under the commonality of Christ’s Lordship. We deeply love one another and do life together. There is nothing more important in this life than people and loving them well.
Devoted to scripture
“Far too often we are lovers of sermons, lovers of ministry, lovers of good books, lovers of community. But are we primarily in love with God Himself?” Francis Chan | We are sold out to spending time in scripture, prayer, and worship. It’s not just a set time in our day, but it is a life that is consumed with the desire of knowing God and being known by Him.
Driven by eternity
When we accept Jesus as our Savior, our focus shifts from the things of this world to the things of eternity. The things of this world are temporary, but souls are eternal. Our lives reflect the belief that we are sojourners.
Gathering Regularly
We gather regularly in homes to celebrate what God is doing in and through us, and we encourage and build one another up through simple gatherings that put Christ on display. We want to truly do life with one another.
Giving Generously
We see unmatched generosity in the New Testament church with both their time and resources. As individuals coming together to form the Church, we respond to Christ’s ultimate gift by giving generously so that all needs in the church, as well as needs in our communities, are met.
Making disciples
Making disciples is the mission of every believer. We are to take the good news of Jesus to the World so that they may also experience the freedom that we have in Christ. We are an every member functioning church. We are about Kingdom expansion and multiplication.
