Believing that lives are changed through relationships, we are a relationship-based church. That is, we meet in small groups in homes throughout the week and come together on Sundays for a community worship service. The service is supposed to be secondary to small group time - a time of reflection and celebration, not an event. We don't have a building - we don't really want one. We don't have a choir or even a band unless we find one to lead us for a week or two. We are not hip or traditional, we are not young or old, we are not all singles or all families. We are probably not what you think of when you think "church," and we kind of like it that way.
We desire and intend to engage our neighborhoods and our communities culturally, socially and spiritually - getting out of the bubble and into the business of life. If we're doing it right, church should look like you having dinner at my house with our kids running around outside while we talk about the redemptive story of the movie you saw last week. Or like three or four families grilling out at the beach and bringing some extra hot dogs for the families sitting near us wondering why we're laughing so loud.
If we're doing it right - this job of infusing life together with faith, hope and love - then it should change the world, one person at a time.
And that's why we believe God created his Church in the first place.
