Purpose

To glorify Jesus Christ, the Light of the world.
To provide an open and affirming place of worship for those who would interact with us in peace.
To bring, through the life and message of Jesus, God's freedom to the captive, hope to the hopeless, and healing to the hurting.
To proclaim the risen Jesus Christ as the True Way, while rejecting the bigotry of many of His followers.
To confirm the nondenominational, gender-neutral, colorblind nature of New Testament grace through faith in Jesus Christ, teaching the biblical truth that while people judge on outward appearance, God looks at the heart.
To help us develop a deeper, more personal relationship with God through prayer and study of Scripture as interpreted by Scripture, and not by the opinions of others.
To help us understand the importance of - and to assist in - developing spiritual and emotional maturity, for both our own well-being and for the cause of Christ.
To equip those who would learn and grown with us to take this Message out into the world.
