TO SEE THE FAR OFF BROUGHT NEAR & TO GROW INTO CHRIST AS WE PLANT CHURCHES FROM LONG BEACH TO THE NATIONS

We long to see those who are far from God, or may even consider themselves an outcast, be brought near to Jesus and enter into his family. At one point or another, all of us have been far off from God. No one deserves or earns their way into God’s family, but through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus we can be brought near to God (Ephesians 2:13).

As the church, we are also called to grow up into Jesus who is the head of the church. We want to look more and more like Him as we share the good news of what He has done. 

We are a church committed to planting churches locally and globally.

ENJOYING, TRUSTING, & FOLLOWING JESUS IN ALL THINGS

As God’s people, this is what everyday life looks like. We are to first, delight in Jesus. He is the greatest of all treasures and as His people we get to enjoy His presence. We daily trust in what He’s said and done. We follow where He leads and listen for His voice.

VALUES

Hospitality

Gospel Centered

All our hope, identity, and power to follow God is found in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. It changes everything.

Generosity

God has been abundantly generous to us. In order to reflect Him we give generously of our time, money, and resources. Not because we have to, but because Jesus did, and now we want to.

Unity in Diversity

God is gathering a family from every nation, tribe, people, and language. We aim to be a healthy, diverse, unified family that reflects not just our city, but the heart of God for the nations.

Kingdom

God’s kingdom is where His glory is on display. We aim to make decisions that prioritize God’s kingdom over ours, even if that requires us to sacrifice.

Multiplication

We exist to make disciples of Jesus who make more disciples. We aim to raise up leaders and send them to plant more churches across the globe. We are a church that plants churches.

With Jesus

The greatest gift of being a Christian is that we get Jesus. We aim to be a church that delights in being with Jesus through worship, prayer, and listening to His voice.
