Core Values

A Sweet Aroma: We seek to be a community that fosters a grace-filled conversation about God, free from animosity and condemnation. (II Corinthians 2: 14-17, Colossians 4: 5-6, Galatians 5:13-15)

Transformed Lives: We seek to be a community that individually and collectively demonstrates God’s ability to transform brokenness, fear, and negativity into wholeness, trust, and joyful hope. (Matthew 5-7, Psalm 30:10-12, Romans 6:12-14)

Equality: We seek to be a community that values each individual’s gifts; welcoming and encouraging the use of these gifts to God’s glory regardless of gender, race, or history. (I Corinthians 12: 4-6, Galatians 3:27-28, Romans 3:21-24)

Freedom to Serve: We seek to be a community that is intentionally simple. We want to free people from inward-focused programming to serve in their communities as salt and light. (Ephesians 5:15-17, Luke 10:30-37, Matthew 5-7)

Let’s Go Deeper: We seek to be a community that avoids pat answers and encourages Scriptural exploration and personal application. We will engage our community in the pursuit of the mysterious truth of God and we will pray for genuine transformation over behavior change. (1 Peter 1:24-25, Ephesians 5:15-17, Psalm 119:97)

Life Together:  We seek to be a community that fosters relationships through intimacy, authenticity, and accountability; creating a sense of “belonging” as a starting point. (Psalm 133:1-3, John 17:11, Colossians 2:16-19)
