Vision:

The mission of God is hard to capture in catch-phrases and slogans. It encompasses the whole counsel of God to redeem his beloved world from the curse of Genesis 3 and bring it to the blessed vision of Revelation 21 – God dwelling with his people; the end of mourning, pain and death; all things created new. The phrase – Christ Making All Things New – summarizes the good news articulated in Colossians 1:15-20 and Revelation 21:3-5.

While the fullest extent of these blessings awaits God’s sovereign intervention at the culmination of history, Christ - in his life, death, and resurrection - has already launched the kingdom of God. The scope is unlimited: all things. The destination is unique: reconciliation with God. So we envision a church community where individual hearts, families, and entire communities reflect in the details of life here on earth the glorious realities of heaven.

We pray and labor for the reconciliation of all things, for freedom from the power, penalty, and presence of sin. Relying on the power of his Spirit in this age, we pray for Christ’s return with glory to bring all things to his God-glorifying conclusion. The end goal of reconciliation with God is the united worship of God, that all nations and all of creation might glorify God together.

We also acknowledge that as a particular community, God has knit together individuals and families with a diversity of callings and interests. Some are artists, builders, medical workers, truck drivers, musicians, teachers, engineers, janitors, poets, editors, and more. Some are energized by mercy, justice, apologetics, family life, and creative endeavors.  We pray and labor for gospel reconciliation in all arenas of life, encouraging discovery and imagination among our people, animated by the good news of the kingdom of God.
