LEADING PEOPLE TO WHOLEHEARTEDLY FOLLOW JESUS
Every follower of Jesus must take responsibility for their own spiritual maturity. We will equip our people for growth and relentlessly challenge them to full devotion to Jesus Christ.
Children are best discipled by their parents. We will leverage our structure, programs and events to equip adults for spiritual leadership of their families.
Every disciple of Jesus Christ makes disciples. We will equip and relentlessly challenge our people to make disciples of those who are spiritually younger.
Lost people matter to Jesus and to anyone who is serious about following him. We will equip our people to tell their story and God’s story, and challenge them to create genuine relationships with those far from God.
We will maximize structure, practices, programs and facilities at 3102 Lexington to reach lost people more effectively.
We will look at wholehearted followers of Jesus in our congregation and discover, develop and deploy spiritual leaders.
God’s will is that none be lost and so is ours. We will pursue opportunities for multi-site, church plants and resourcing partner churches to reach lost people who would not come to 3102 Lexington.
We will send equipped disciples into our communities and the world to reach people who would never come to a church. We will be intentional about developing relationships with unchurched individuals.
God’s people love their neighbors as themselves. Our people will build relationships with the under-resourced in our communities through events, programs and ongoing interactions.
Jesus sends his disciples to the ends of the earth. Our community of faith will raise up, send, and partner with long-term missionaries around the world.
God’s word repeatedly commands us to care for children and orphans. Our people will tangibly love children through adoption, foster-care, raising awareness and supporting those who provide direct care.
We will send equipped disciples into our communities and the world to reach people who would never come to a church. We will be intentional about developing relationships with unchurched individuals.

While our worship style is contemporary, we are orthodox in theology. We believe that the ancient, ecumenical creeds accurately reflect a biblical and historical faith. We walk in the great traditions of the Wesleyan Methodist movements.
In God, the Father, Almighty, creator of heaven and earth.
In Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day, he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
In the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of the saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting
