Our values

We Value Extending Grace
All of life is a gift of grace. From the big (gravity, food, forgiveness) to the small (community, refreshment, compassion) we’ve encountered God’s grace. To live the Christian faith is to live in light of God’s grace for us. That recognition compels us to extend grace to the guest, the enemy, the stranger, and the brother or sister in need. Our goal is that you might experience God’s grace by being in community with us.

We Value Equipping and Empowering People
The church is more than a holy huddle. It’s a movement, and movements need people in motion. So we dedicate time and attention to equipping and empowering people to listen, act, and serve in their communities. Our goal is that you might do much more than you ever dreamed by allowing God to work through you.

We Value Relationships
God is about community and so are we. At Christ Community we emphasize the call to relationships with God, each other, and the world around us. Our goal is that you would find life-supporting relationships in the church.

We Value the Faith Walk of Children
For over 50 years, Christ Community’s greatest strength and passion has been walking alongside families. From the newborn infant to the graduating high-school senior, we believe our role is to support, educate, and empower each child and their parents. Our goal is that every child would know the love God has for them and make this faith their own.

We Value Spiritual Growth
We value helping people take one more step in their journey with Christ. It might be slow at first and you might get stuck at times, but we will do our part to provide opportunities, groups, and experiences for you to take your next step. Our goal is that you would grow up in Christ!

Worship
Our community’s primary gathering is Sunday mornings, when young and old, rich and poor gather for worship. We don’t worship ourselves, our opinions, or our preferences. We do our best to worship God using words, scriptures, images, and songs that become our own expressions of hope, longing, trust, lament, and praise. Our goal is that worshipping God together will shape us to be God’s people in our community.
