This mission evolves from core values that describe who we are as a church and who we strive to become:<\/p>\n
Loving God
\nPassionate Worship:\u00a0We celebrate God\u2019s love by opening ourselves to the Holy Spirit through purposeful prayer, lively music, and challenging preaching. In its many styles, worship engages our souls and compels us to engage the world that God loves.
\nIntentional Discipleship:\u00a0We actively engage in an ongoing process of growing closer to Christ by welcoming spiritual inquiry, practicing spiritual disciplines, encouraging scriptural study, and nurturing authentic relation\u00adship with God and one another. We intend for our lives to serve as a witness to the grace of Jesus Christ and to the promise of his kingdom on earth.
\nDeepening Prayer:\u00a0Prayer connects us to God and to one another. We strive to uphold all activities and relation\u00adships in prayer, embracing different prayer styles and encouraging meaningful prayer in everything we do. Regu\u00adlarly practiced prayer leads us into deepening appreciation of God as loving Creator, ourselves as God\u2019s beloved, and the world as blessed.<\/p>\n
Serving Others
\nPurposeful Searching:\u00a0Some of us have grown up in the Christian faith, and some of us have not. Many of us are re-learning the faith after life has raised important questions and other Christians have provided well intentioned but insufficient answers. All of us are searching for meaning and relevance in our lives. We want to accompany one another on a purposeful exploration of Christian faith and practice that shapes our lives and our world.
\nRisk-Taking Mission:\u00a0We open ourselves to potential discomfort because God calls us to serve others in the name of Christ for no other reason than that God loves us all. Mission is taking action that expresses our faith; therefore, mission looks differently depending upon each person and one\u2019s place in one\u2019s walk of faith. Recognizing this, we celebrate each act of mission while encouraging every member to consider ever more challenging acts of mission (i.e., sharing the grace of Christ, attending a Bible Study, joining a mission team).<\/p>\n
Building Christian Community
\nRadical Hospitality:\u00a0We accept one another \u2018as we are,\u2019 welcoming all by making room for one another and acknowledging what each person has to offer. Our community is comprised of people in many different situations, experiencing unique pressures and wondering where we fit. Whether you have moved here permanently or are here for just a few years, together \u201cwe are all guests in God\u2019s house.\u201d You are welcome here.
\nChristian Community:\u00a0We believe loving relationships permeate every aspect of church life. As God has first loved us, we are called to love one another (strangers, guests, family members and friends). Celebrating God\u2019s love, we seek rest and restoration within a Christian community of acceptance and forgiveness centered in Jesus Christ.
\nExtravagant Generosity:\u00a0We willingly align our priorities to express the extravagance of God and to impact the lives of others. We enjoy giving our time, talents, and resources to connect one another to the body of Christ, God\u2019s grace-filled community. We pray that God may use our generosity of gifts and love to transform lives.<\/p>\n
We Value
\nWe will honor Christ and His church with integrity.
\nIf we live with integrity nothing else matters.\u2028If we don\u2019t live with integrity nothing else matters.<\/p>\n
We will do anything short of sin to reach people who don\u2019t know Christ.
\nTo reach people no one is reaching, we\u2019ll have to do things no one is doing.<\/p>\n
We always bring our best.
\nExcellence honors God and inspires people.<\/p>\n
We give up things we love for things we love even more.
\nIt\u2019s an honor to sacrifice for Christ and His church.<\/p>\n
We are spiritual contributors not spiritual consumers.
\nThe church does not exist for us. We are the church and we exist for the world.<\/p>\n
We are faith-filled, big-thinking, bet-the-farm risk takers.
\nWe\u2019ll never insult God with small thinking and safe living.<\/p>\n
We will lead the way with irrational generosity.
\nWe truly believe it is more blessed to give than to receive.<\/p>\n
We are all about the \u201ccapital C\u201d Church.
\nThe local church is the hope of the world, and we know we can accomplish infinitely more together than apart.<\/p>\n
We will laugh hard, loud, and often.
\nNothing is more fun than serving God with people you love.<\/p>\n","url":"https:\/\/allnationsworship.org\/","url_text":"allnationsworship.org","main_services":"Church","image_1":"https:\/\/diib.com\/featuredmembers\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Logo-All-Nations-Worship-Center.jpg","client_review":"","why_we":"","history":"","image_2":false,"image_3":false},"yoast_head":"\n
