Loving God, Loving People

We exist to love God, love people, reach the 75% far from God, and mature believers as one church in multiple Bay Area locations.

Full Devotion To Christ

Full devotion is loving God through obedience. Growth Track helps us grow spiritually healthy—because healthy things grow!

Compassion

Our mission is loving people by serving the underserved, showing God’s love and opening hearts to the Gospel.

Diversity

Each of us is created in God’s image, and prejudice, racism, and injustice grieve the Father. We embrace diversity, reflecting eternity.

Every-Person Ministry

Ministry is serving with God’s love. We equip each member to serve, using their gifts, to impact and change communities forever.

Financial Generosity

Generosity empowers the church, expands God's Kingdom, and supports ministry, global evangelism, and the underserved.

Servant Leadership

We follow Jesus' leadership: serving with humility, empowering volunteers, and committing to ministry excellence.

Integrity

Character matters. Living with integrity requires boundaries and accountability within a community of believers.
