The following are some things that we are committed to being, based on our impression of mission found in Luke 10:1-12 (a passage of Scripture which has been very influential for us):

Cultured: We immerse ourselves in the current culture without becoming a product of it. We want to create, influence, and subvert culture.

Neighboured: We are committed to the local. We try our best to love our neighbours (and our neighbourhood), especially those who are marginalized, disenfranchised, and disregarded.

Partnered: We are in this together (proximity, deep relationships, networked).

Storied: We want to listen more and talk less. Listening to other people’s story and connecting their story with God’s amazing story, changes us.

Shared: Everything we own is God’s and we need to share our lives with others (generosity & hospitality).

Normalized: The church community is simply a catalyst for transforming everyday actions and priorities (“go” instead of “attract”). We believe that the Spirit of God is at work in the lives of everyday people in everyday environments.

Kingdomized: We want to be an active part of living out and naming the Kingdom that Jesus established (shalom).
