Our Values
Christ Church pursues God’s truth with humility in community.
Truth
Christ Church is rooted in God’s truth as revealed in scripture and the person and work of Jesus Christ, who is truth (John 14:6). We pursue God’s truth, and everything we do is informed by and centered around it.
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” - Jesus, John 14:6
Community
Truth must be pursued within the context of a loving community. In the Christ Church community, we are free to grapple with our beliefs, ask challenging questions, and lovingly challenge and encourage each other as we navigate life's difficulties together. We seek to know, love, and share our lives with one another, which is vulnerable but transformative work. “Truth, experienced in community. produces change.”
We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.
- I Thessalonians 2:8
Mission
Our mission is to live as salt and light in the world by sharing the gospel with others in word and deed. We are God’s plan for sharing the good news the world needs, so we lovingly seek out those we can introduce to Jesus and warmly welcome everyone into our community.
Living on mission requires humility, patience, love, and sacrifice. We share the gospel with others, knowing Jesus is our only hope now and for eternity, not because we have it all together. We are merely beggars telling other beggars where to find bread.
Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. - Acts 2:46-47
