We want to be a community that reflects the character of God to a watching world like a city set on a hill. We believe God’s character was best revealed by Jesus who was a person full of grace and truth. By truth we mean honesty. By grace we mean acceptance and forgiveness. Being a church that values the truth doesn’t mean that we have all the ‘true’ answers to life’s questions and we can always fix each other’s problems. It means we are truth-tellers about the brokenness of the world. Being a church of grace means that honesty is met with acceptance not judgment. This is what Jesus was like. Whether he was interacting with rich young rulers, the poor and sick on the margins of society, or curious disciples, Jesus spoke the truth and extended grace. We want to be like that too, because this is the sort of community where God’s love is alive and our healing, salvation and transformation becomes possible.
In short, our vision is to become a community of grace and truth where healing can happen.
The way we see this vision being accomplished is articulated on our mission page.
