…offer hope through the death and resurrection of Jesus.
…be a church that remembers what it was like not to believe.
…consistently model a passionate dependance on God through prayer.
…acknowledge that people need meaningful relationships with God and with one another.
…reflect our reconciliation to God through our reconciliation to one another.
…pursue multi-ethnic community as an expression of unity in the Gospel.
…cultivate healthy families through the Gospel.
…affirm the beauty of the material world through the celebration of the arts.
…contribute positively and uniquely to culture.
…awaken joy in the hearts of those we encounter.
…be a church that listens to their neighbors and admits when they’re wrong.
…remember the poor.
…joyfully serve those in need.
…create a safe and honest environment where people can deal with addiction in transforming ways.
…resist the lure of individualism and instead love one another in authentic community.
…call people to something bigger than themselves.
…model community not just in the life of our church, but through team leadership in our church.
…model community universally among Christ followers as we attempt to initiate a movement of like-minded churches in Kansas City.
