All People Matter :: All people matter, because we are God’s artwork. We believe that every person has been fashioned by God (the ultimate Creative), bears His image, has become broken, but can be restored. All people matter because we are loved unconditionally by God, can be redeemed by Jesus and when we become followers of Jesus we become a residence for the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 2:8-10; Colossians 1:13-18; 1 Corinthians 6:19).
Transformation: personal, cultural and city :: We want to see the redemptive power of the gospel transform our individual lives, as well as our entire culture. We want to learn how to communicate better with today’s city dwellers so they might understand the Gospel. We long to witness the transformation of the whole person and the whole of life and we put this longing into action by telling others the Gospel creatively and directly, while showing Christ’s love in service. We serve others in the Body of Christ by mobilizing partnerships to expand our influence beyond our capacity, as well as to show the world the One Body of Christ. As Followers of Christ, we are burdened with the overwhelming need for the world to hear the Gospel and will take an active part to pray for, send to, give to, and go to the world for the glory of God and good of the lost (Colossians 1:19-20; 2 Timothy 4:2-5; 2 Corinthians 11:8-11; Ephesians 4:4, 11-16).
