Our Mission
We desire to see people saved (delivered, made whole, restored), invited into family, and empowered to create culture.
Our Culture
We follow Jesus, we teach from the Bible, we worship God and see Him as a good Dad. We are a community of believers that are very passionate about the presence of God. Because of this, we have a passion for people, our valley and our world.
Our culture is shaped by declarations, worship, family, a love for the presence of God.
OUR Purpose
Encounter Driven. People Empowering. Excellence Minded.
We are a family learning to create culture.
Culture is a system of beliefs, relational boundaries, and values that creates a context in which a family, church, city & country thrives. We create culture with our words and actions. “We create culture by speaking it, living it, and repeating that.”
Family = Connection. We define family as relationships (in pursuit of health) that aren't built on performance, but on connection.
Learning = Discipleship. We desire to be a people who is always learning. The word disciple comes from the greek word mathetes. The root word means “the mental effort needed to think something through.” So by definition, a disciple is someone who never stops learning.
Culture = Life. We define culture as a way of life. We believe that we are products of the environments we create and that our assignment as Christ followers is to reshape culture.
“I have legitimate concerns about my children’s future, but I wasn’t put on this earth as their father to teach them to avoid culture; to endure culture; to hide from society, but rather to make it a better place. I am preparing them to lead it. Change it. Bring good to it.”
