OUR MISSION
LOVING THE 7 CITIES WELL.
OUR VISION
Loving the region of the 7 cities well happens when we encounter the goodness of God. Through the Holy Spirit, we are empowered to spread the love of Christ everywhere and to everyone.
OUR VALUES
GOD IS A GOOD FATHER
We believe God is good—always, perfectly, and unchanging (Psalm 100:5, James 1:17). This belief is foundational; we build our lives upon the truth of His goodness (Matthew 7:11). When we know God as a good Father, we live from love, not for love (1 John 4:19). This identity shapes how we lead, love, worship, and walk in faith (Romans 8:15-16).
JESUS IS LORD
His presence is our highest priority. Our first ministry is to God. We didn’t invite him into our life, He invites us into His. As we encounter Him, His presence transforms lives. We do not pursue God to get more; we pursue God because we know there is more.
THE HOLY SPIRIT TRANSFORMS
We cultivate healthy belonging and identity. The experience of intimacy — of being completely known and accepted, and completely knowing and accepting in return — is the most satisfying experience we can have as humans. We are adopted into God’s family and given a new identity. Now - no longer orphans, now we are God’s favorite sons and daughters. In this family, we speak life. We find the gold in people and embrace a culture of honor because honor affirms value.
THE SCRIPTURES ARE GOD-BREATHED
God’s Word transforms us. “The Word of God is alive and powerful.” (Hebrews 4:12 NKJV) We believe there’s nothing in our lives that Scripture can’t speak into. Every time we open the Bible we get revelation and insight.
ITS JESUS’ CHURCH
Jesus empowers supernatural ministry. Jesus promised signs would follow believers and they would do even greater works than he did. (John 14:12-14; Luke 9:1-2; Mark 16:15-18) We owe the world an opportunity to experience the power of God and an invitation to salvation because Jesus sent us into the world, just as the Father sent him, with the power of the Holy Spirit. (John 20:21-23) Nothing is impossible with God. Therefore, no person or situation is beyond His ability to bring complete restoration. (Matthew 17:20; Mark 10:25-27)
JESUS SAVES
Serving well is loving well. “For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:28) All who love and follow Jesus serve others. Serving is one of the ways that we love Jesus and the 7 cities well.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD
We are generous like our Father. God is extravagantly generous and our generosity is a response and reflection of Him. He is a good Father who gives good gifts to us. For God so loved the world that He gave… (John 3:16; James 1:17; Psalm 103:1-5; Ephesians 1:3; Luke 15:11-32)
