Our Vision

One new family, empowered by God’s Spirit to live and love like Jesus.

The Kingdom of Heaven—God’s one new family—is beautifully diverse. It is a song sung in every tongue, dancing bodies, varied, brilliant. It is a city, built upon the foundation of orthodoxy laid by the twelve apostles, the chief cornerstone of which is Christ Jesus, and its gates are flung wide to the distinctive glories and cultural expressions of all the nations on earth. It is multiethnic and multiclass, male and female, young and old. It welcomes the stranger and makes enemies, friends. It draws near the untouchable and uplifts the downtrodden. It even includes those with opposing political beliefs. This new family is what the broken systems of this world long for and it has always been God’s plan. We will fight for our church to reflect these truths as we pursue unity in the Spirit, centering Christ alone, around whom every nation, tribe, and tongue will one day come to confess: Jesus is Lord.

What We Believe

We hold to historic Christian orthodoxy as articulated in the Apostles’ and Nicene creeds. We also subscribe to recent summaries of Christian doctrine as formulated in the Lausanne Covenant & Cape Town Commitment.

  • I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

    I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell.

    The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

    I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

  • We believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

    And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, begotten from the Father before all ages, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made; of the same essence as the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; he became incarnate by the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary, and was made human. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried. The third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again with glory to judge the living and the dead. His kingdom will never end.

    And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life. He proceeds from the Father and the Son, and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified. He spoke through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We affirm one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and to life in the world to come. Amen.
