OUR STATEMENT OF FAITH

Jesus

We believe that Jesus was crucified, died, and rose in resurrection to save us from sin and death. He is the head of our church. We are here to glorify and point to Him in all we do.

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ is coming back again as He promised.

The Bible

We believe that the Bible is the word of God and is something to show us who God is and how to act in light of that fact.

Community

We believe we were put here for a reason. To help others know Jesus, to help others grow in their knowledge of God and how to act in this world due to that knowledge. We call it Sowing the gospel, growing in Christ, and going on mission. We also believe we are to work with other community leaders and members who may not believe as we do. Just because we don’t agree doesn’t mean we cannot work together.

God

We believe in one eternal God who is the Creator of all things. He exists in three Persons: God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. He is totally loving, completely holy, and just.

Sin

We believe that sin has separated each of us from God and His purpose for our lives.

Eternity

We believe that our eternal destination of either Heaven or hell is determined by our response to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Reconciliation

We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ as both God and man is the only One who can reconcile us to God. He lived a sinless and exemplary life, died on the cross in our place, and rose again to prove His victory and empower us to live a life for Him.

We believe that in order to receive forgiveness and the ‘new birth’ we must repent of our sins, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and submit to His will for our lives.

Baptism

We believe baptism is the outward communal expression of God’s work in our life. It is a covenant with others in the church that we are a new creation. It is not an act that saves us, however it is something that shows a large step of obedience in following Jesus.

The Church

We believe the church exists to point to Jesus and the mission given to us to make disciples. That means we believe we exist to tell people about Jesus, love our neighbors as ourselves regardless of our differences. That we are to work alongside each other with our gifts and talents as one body to better help each other grow as we follow Christ together in the communities in which we live.

OUR VALUES

MESSY HOSPITALITY

We are to be hospitable using the spaces and homes we have been blessed with. We are not to act as if we have it all together, but serve as broken people, serving other broken people.

BEING A GOOD NEIGHBOR

We will get to know and love our neighbors despite our differences. We will engage in ongoing community activities and organizations for the purpose of building relationships and proclaiming the gospel.

SUPPORTING FAMILIES SPIRITUALLY

We will minister to families by creating a community that will allow for each and every member of the household a chance to grow in the knowledge of Christ.

INTENTIONAL MULTIPLICATION

We will develop leaders by coaching and mentoring potential leaders and equipping them to be disciples that multiply the church.

We are so glad you have decided to learn more about us.

We are a community based church in the Irving Park community that is starting from scratch.

We are focused on loving our neighbors, sharing about Christ, learning about him, and loving our neighbors together as we work, play, and live our lives. We call it Sow, Grow, and Go.

We want to build a community of people who don’t think like each other, look like each other, but can begin to learn to love one another and serve together as we all learn what it means to follow Christ. You don’t need to believe in what we believe about God to be a part of our vision. We value and welcome all people. Thanks for taking the time to visit us. We hope to see you real soon!

We’d love to get to know you more.

You can connect to us in four different ways. Select as many as you’re interested in and we’ll follow up with more information!
