Our highest value is the pursuit of God. We are hungry to know and experience God’s presence, hear His voice and follow hard after Him. We desire to encounter the living God. We are not satisfied to talk about a God who cannot be experienced. To do so would be futile and less than the example of Scripture in which individuals knew God because they saw Him, heard Him, and felt His presence as He revealed His glory to them.

When we worship, we put all things back in order, recognizing that He is the King who is worthy of it all. We are passionate about pouring out our hearts to God, giving Him all of our adoration, attention, and affection. So we worship long, and we worship with all we’ve got. We want to bring Him our best as we worship—with music, with passion, with obedience, and with a sacrificial lifestyle. We don’t believe worship is just a “music time” to warm us up for a sermon, but rather one of the primary reasons we were created. Worship is one of the only activities we do on earth that will continue on into eternity. If we are known for anything, we want to be known as a big family that is passionate about worshiping Jesus.

A priority for us is the pursuit of God's word in the scriptures. We actively work to conform our lives to the teaching of the Bible. We believe in teaching and responding to the Word of God. It is through the application of God’s Word to our lives and the submission to God’s Word that we build solid lives and find wisdom.

The primary message of Jesus was about the Kingdom of His Father. The reason Jesus died on the cross to forgive our sins is so that we could live in the Kingdom. We believe that the Kingdom of God is a present reality. Jesus commanded us to pray that the Kingdom would come on earth as it is in Heaven. We aim to move in all the signs of the present fulfillment of God’s Kingdom. Because it was the primary focus of Jesus' ministry and message, it is also ours. We won’t rest until the Kingdoms of this world have become the Kingdom of our Lord.

Jesus called disciples to follow Him. We are not content to give lip-service to a doctrine, theology, or religion. We aim first to follow Jesus and be like Him in every way possible. We live to hear His words and obey them, to see His works and model them. As we follow Christ, we also call others to follow Him. For us, the goal of Christianity is not just to convert people to a set of beliefs or evangelize enough to get people to say a “sinner’s prayer.” We believe Jesus is after people who put action to their faith and actively pursue Jesus to become like Him. Discipleship is measured by how much we act, speak, and think like Jesus.

The Kingdom of God is most fully expressed as family. Jesus lived to reveal the Father, to be loved by the Father, and to release the love of the Father. The Kingdom is a "family business" and we believe family is the blueprint of Heaven. We understand that the Church is primarily a family, not an organization. Without love, we have nothing. We treat one another with honor and love as spiritual brothers and sisters, and we place a high value on honoring spiritual mothers and fathers who help us grow in our faith.

We believe that God speaks and that every believer is meant to hear His voice in their daily lives. We don’t live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from His mouth. Because of this, we pursue His voice and take time seek His guidance and leading in all we do. We believe that revelation from Heaven by Holy Spirit is more precious than anything else. One word from God can change our lives forever.

Jesus didn’t just talk about the Kingdom of God. He demonstrated it with power as He healed the sick and delivered people who were oppressed by demonic spirits. And He is the same—yesterday, today, and forever. As we pursue His Kingdom, we expect to see His power setting people free. We have seen blind eyes open, deaf ears hear, lame people walk, and those with sickness and cancers healed in the name of Jesus. And we’ve seen those tormented by demons set free. For us, this is a non-negotiable priority. Since miracles accompanied Jesus in His ministry, we know that we need them in ours as well.

In Genesis 12, a covenant was made with Abraham. This covenant was simple, “I will bless you and you will be a blessing and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” We are committed to this covenant and recognize our responsibility to give away that which God has given us. We believe all Christians should be trained to release the ministry of Jesus. We want to be an army and not an audience, so we encourage every person in our church family to freely give away the love, truth, and power that God has freely given them. This translates into a commitment to mobilize many from our church family to go out. We dedicate time and resources to go to the nations so that Jesus receives all He died for.

We know that there is so much more of God than we have experienced or understood to this point. We know that we haven’t arrived yet. And we are aware that our theology is not adequate to reflect all of God’s attributes and ways. He’s much better, much more good, much holier, much stronger, and much more loving than we’ve previously thought. But we know that God gives grace to the humble. So we keep our heads low and strive to keep learning as we pursue knowing Him.

To this end, we also love and honor the whole body of Christ. We know that Jesus loves His whole church—with all of its current flaws and differing theologies. We recognize that we need them, we are one with them, and we have much to learn from them as well.
