The Gospel
We believe the Gospel, the good news of Jesus Christ, changes everything. It is our central value from which all others flow.
"I am not ashamed of the Gospel…" Romans 1:16

The Bible
We uphold the Bible as the perfect and sufficient source of our Faith.
"These are the scriptures that testify about me. [Jesus]" John 5:39

Holistic Community
We believe the Gospel compels us to be people of word and deed who seek gospel transformation for the church community.
”speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music to the Lord in your heart, giving thanks always for everything to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ” Eph 5:19-20

Multiplying Church Community
We believe the church is God's new community that will grow through the power of the Gospel.
"...the church of God, which he bought with his own blood…" Acts 20:28
We seek to expand His Church through church planting and church revitalization.
""Strive to excel in building up the church." 1 Corinthians 14:12

Loving Houston, and beyond
We believe the Gospel changes our attitude towards our city and our world. This love must be communicated in ways that people understand, both in speech and in meeting the needs of others.
"For Christ's love compels us..." 2 Corinthians 5:14

Humility
We believe the Gospel gives us an honest view of ourselves. We are sinners, redeemed by God's unmerited favor.
"God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." 1 Peter 5:5

Prayer
We believe we must pray because we are a needy and sinful people, dependent on the mercy of our loving God who has promised to listen. .
"Lord, teach us to pray..." Luke 11:1
"Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises." James 5:13

Renewal
We believe the Gospel renews our everyday lives - our Families, homes, jobs, neighborhoods, education, politics, media and the arts.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men..." Colossians 3:23
