OUR MISSION
Inviting people in the heart of the
Rust Belt to forget religion, find God
and move toward a new possible.
OUR Beliefs
We want people to feel passionate about following Jesus, not some unrealistic religious expectations. When we let go of our own efforts, we see that, even though we could never earn or deserve it, He’s already made the way for us. We believe in a relational God.
I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE.
– Jesus [John 14:6]
-
There is one true God, Creator of heaven and earth, who eternally exists as one substance in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
[Deuteronomy 6:4; Matthew 28:19; Mark 1:9-11; John 14:10, 16; James 2:19]
-
The Bible is inspired by God. It is truth without any mixture of error and is completely relevant to our daily lives.
[Deuteronomy 4:1-2; Romans 15:4; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; Hebrews 4:12; 1 Peter 1:25]
-
The Holy Spirit assures us of our relationship with Christ, guides us into all truth, convicts people of their sin, comforts us, gives us spiritual gifts, and makes us more like Christ.
[Genesis 1:2; Joel 2:28; Luke 4:1; 11:13; John 16:7-14; Acts 1:8; 2:1-4; Romans 8:9-11, 14-16, 26-27; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31; Ephesians 1:13-14]
-
All humanity, Christ excluded, is sinful by birth and action, which separates us from God. Jesus died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sin. Only through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus and repentance from sin can your relationship with God be restored. Salvation is a gift from God; it cannot be earned through our own efforts.
[John 3:16-18; Romans 3:23-25, 5:8-10; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Galatians 2:20; Ephesians 2; Philippians 2:12-13; 1 Peter 3:18; Hebrews 9:24-28]
-
The Church is a local community of baptized believers, committed to the teachings of Christ and obeying all of His commands, and it seeks to bring the Gospel to the world. The Church works together in love and unity, intent on the ultimate purpose of glorifying Christ.
[Matthew 16:18-19; 18:15-20; 28:18-20; Acts 2:41-47; 20:28; Corinthians 9:13-14; 12; Ephesians 1:22-23; 2:19-22; 1 Peter 5:1-4; Revelation 21:2-3]
-
This is just a brief summary. We strongly encourage studying the Bible, listening to the Holy Spirit and learning from your leaders.
OUR CORE VALUES
01
start where you are
You don’t have to wait until your life is perfect to start living out your purpose.
02
make it fun
We’re serious about our faith, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
03
better together
God not only invites us into a relationship with Him, but with others too! Community is how we build meaningful and encouraging connections.
04
WE FOLLOW THE WORD NOT THE WORLD
Society changes; Scripture does not — it’s direction not suggestion.
