COME AS YOU ARE
We value the culture of intentional acceptance that Jesus created. We value his kind of unconditional love that accepts brokenness but encourages healing. Our community will point like a neon sign toward Jesus, and offer everyone an invitation to join our journey toward wholeness in him.

(Colossians 3:12-17, Romans 14:13)
TRANSFORMATION IS THE EXPECTATION OF EVERY BELIEVER
We value the visible, never-ending, total transformation that the Holy Spirit longs to accomplish in every Christian. We value and celebrate the heart and life changes that take place in a person who is surrendering to Christ more and more unconditionally.

(Romans 12:1-2, 1 Timothy 4:15, 2 Thessalonians 1:3)
THE BIBLE IS RELEVANT TO YOUR LIFE
We value the Bible as absolute, universal, timeless truth inspired by God. Everything we believe and everything we teach will always assume a Biblical worldview, and with the help of the Holy Spirit, we will interpret and apply scripture in a way that is understandable and relevant to our current culture.
(2 Timothy 3:16-17, Acts 17:11)
(2 Timothy 3:16-17, Acts 17:11)
LIFE CHANGE HAPPENS BEST IN RELATIONSHIPS
We value interdependent relationships as the best way to grow spiritually. We will encourage every believer to develop authentic relationships with other Christians, in which they experience both unconditional acceptance and loving accountability. We also value intentional, authentic relationships with non-Christians, and challenge all believers to love others unconditionally; no questions asked.

WE WERE CREATED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE
We value every believer’s service according to their God-given gifts, abilities and passions. Our community will operate with the expectation that everyone will regularly use what God has given them to accomplish what God has planned for our church, our community and the world.

(Ephesians 2:10, Jeremiah 1:5, Romans 12:4-8)
EFFECTIVE PARTNERSHIPS PROMOTE UNITY AND IMPACT
We value the role of strategic partners both with individual Christians, and with other organizations that seek to serve others and advance God’s plans. Our community will partner with individuals who are seeking God, facilitating spiritual growth so that each of our lives has maximum impact in God’s plan. We will also form partnerships with other organizations so that our impact can be extended and amplified throughout Las Vegas and the world.
