Gospel beauty
The gospel changes everything. It’s the solution to our spiritual problems and our societal ones. The beauty of Christ and his work, which the gospel points to, will inevitably transform us.
Deep life change
We are what we love, so the only way to change us deeply is to change what we worship. We seek this through preaching, worship and discipleship through spiritual experience and relationship.
Public faith
Community
The gospel creates new community. Our connections with one another change from consumer to family relationships. We live out changed lives through hospitality and deeds of love and kindness.
Healing & Renewal
The gospel shapes how we love the city. We respect its diverse peoples, which prompts us to address social problems and value all work and cultural production that brings human flourishing.
Movement
The kingdom of God is gradually, but inexorably growing. We emphasize and support initiatives to send Christians out to start churches across the city with the same gospel-based core values.
