​

We believe the following things about what we are called to think and to do and to be together

• It’s possible to be a church without being defensive and closed-minded.

• It’s possible to care for those ostracized or in trouble in a way that enhances, rather than diminishes your community.

• It’s possible to be highly aspirational, financially sustainable, and rewardingly participatory all at the same time.

• It’s possible to have commercial activities and administrative practices that deepen and embody our understanding of the kingdom, rather than conflict with or confuse it.

• It’s possible to grow without becoming impersonal, two-dimensional, or an ogre.

• You can do unbelievable things together if you start with one another’s assets rather than deficits.

• It’s possible to believe that, in Christ, the future is bigger than the past.
