Our Values


  • Hospitality – We recognize all people as God’s children and welcome all equally. We respect that people come from different places and are on at different places in their spiritual journey. For this reason, we will help people feel comfortable and included, no matter where they come from.
  • Simplicity - Jesus taught us to love God and to love our neighbor. His commandment is that simple, so we are committed to living and teaching his message without complicating it either intellectually or practically.
  • Christ-centeredness – Following Jesus, being Jesus to our neighbors, and seeing Jesus in the eyes of our neighbors is at the center of all that we do.
  • Community - We believe that God intended for us to live in community with one another. Therefore, we commit to create authentic Christian community and deepen our relationship with the broader community around us.
  • Balance - Following Jesus is not just a spiritual endeavor. We seek to cultivate our minds, bodies, and souls, so that we might become more like Jesus with our whole being.
  • Serving – As Jesus served those around him in love, especially those who were on the edges of his society. We will do likewise.
  • Beauty - God gives each person creativity and invites us to add to the beauty of the world. Each person is valued, sacred, and can uniquely contribute has something unique to contribute to the larger community.
