Praise God. Love People. Proclaim Christ.
Empowered by the Spirit in all of life, we will: joyfully praise God; sacrificially love all people in deed and truth; and faithfully proclaim Christ, to the glory of God and for the good of our neighbors.
PROCLAMATION exists to make disciples of Jesus Christ who make disciples and plant a church that plants churches. We hope to be a diverse gospel-saturated community proclaiming Christ to our neighbors.
The reality of the gospel transforms every aspect of our lives: priorities, affections, character, attitudes, use of time and money, and how we love and serve our families, neighbors, friends, and enemies. As people who have been bought and redeemed by Jesus, our response is to offer ourselves as living sacrifices as we aim to worship and glorify God in all of life, both in our gatherings together and our daily lives (Romans 12:1-2). The truth of the gospel also compels and shapes our gathered worship, which is intended to display the glories of Jesus and invite people to respond. It is a feast for God's people as we remember the gospel, are nourished by God's Word, and encourage one another.
All are welcome into our family. The gospel breaks down all barriers: age, gender, race, health, socio-economic, political, sin, etc. There is no sin or other barrier too great that can keep someone from the family of God or our local expression of it.
All are needy in our family. The gospel shows each one of us our great need, removes our guilt and shame, and enables our family to be a safe place for people to be honest in their struggle with sin, whatever it may be. We are all daily in need of the one Savior Jesus and there is no place for boasting or self-righteousness in God's family.
All are needed in our family. God has graciously gifted and called every member of our church family to serve one another in his or her unique way. When even the smallest member of our family is missing, the whole body suffers. We affirm the need for and value of every member while we strive to equip every member for ministry and pursue unity, reconciliation, and peace.
