Who Are We
We are a gathering of people from diverse backgrounds
humbly seeking to be:
- lovers of God–believing that nothing is more
important, more interesting, and more rewarding than
this, a deep and abiding relationship with the One who
created all things.
- followers of Jesus, our Lord–discovering over and
over again how his life and his teaching bring us the
abundant life for which we were all created.
- readers and students of the Bible, the Word of
Life–learning anew how the Bible challenges us, changes
us, and leads us in the way of Jesus Christ.
- thoughtful–seeking both to honor the legacy of
faithfulness that has been handed down to us through our
roots in the Christian Reformed Church and to renew our
understanding of our faith in the light of the Scriptures
and the leading of the Holy Spirit.
- open to all who come to us seeking God–recognizing
that the gospel tears down the walls that we have erected
between others and ourselves: walls of nationality, race,
gender, and denomination.
- rich in prayer, worship, joy, and celebration–reminded
each week in worship and celebration that God is calling us
into the mysteries of deep, intimate, and joyful communion with
him and with each other.
- a people who put our faith into action–believing that
faith is not just something you think but something you live.
Therefore, living in the grace and forgiveness of God, we joyfully
reach out to others, seeking justice and peace for them.
