Purpose

What do we want to be about? Simply stated, we want to make disciples and serve the city.

Making Disciples
We believe that true, real life is found only through following Jesus. Because of this belief, we want people who are not Christians to become Christians. In addition, we want those of us who are already Christians to mature in our faith and have gospel-driven holiness embedded into every aspect of our lives.

Serving the City
We believe that serving others is the most significant way we can reflect God’s character into the world. Because of this belief, our vision is bigger than our congregation. The gospel rhythm has always been that God blesses his people in order that, through us, others are blessed (Genesis 12). We see this happening primarily, though not exclusively, in the city of Seattle. We want God’s kingdom presence to be felt more and more in the city of Seattle.

May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face to shine upon us,
that your ways may be known on earth,
your saving power among all nations.

—Psalm 67
