Theological Foundation
Gospel Centered Theology
To be gospel-centered means to focus on who Jesus is and what he has done, not what we have done or will do for God. We believe gospel-centered theology is best described by the "solas" of the Reformation. We love these doctrines because they tell us that we have a glorious and gracious God, a good book, and ultimately the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Spirit-Filled Lives
The Holy Spirit is often ignored because his work is mysterious and doesn't fit well into modern systems. The Spirit comes to soften hearts, give grace, empower the Church for mission, and convict sinners of their sin. We are convicted from Scripture that all Christians are called to live Spirit-filled lives like Jesus.
Complementarian Relationships
God exists in a perfect community; we call this Trinity. The three persons of the Godhead are all equal in power, glory, and righteousness, yet each is distinct with different roles. The Son submits to the Father, and the Spirit does the work made possible by the sacrifice of the Son. God calls for this kind of community in church government and Christian households.
Missional Churches
Churches are not clubs; they are families that comprise members who've been adopted by God. These churches are called to worship God, love each other, and reach out to the people around them with the good news that God loves them and calls them to repent and believe. This means that the church doesn't exist for its own sake, it exists to worship God and love all of its neighbors in the name of Jesus. It's not about going to church it's about being the church.
