We are PILGRIM’s who journey to sacred places for spiritual reasons. We are on a spiritual quest in pursuit of a beautiful future as we explore and experience life today.
We are WISDOM HUNTER’s in search of sound judgment that will help guide our actions and decisions. The journey begins and ends with character and integrity.
We are VISIONARY ARCHITECT’s who believe vision is a fully painted picture that produces passion in you and in those around you. It includes 3 PHASES: Building the Framework, Stretching the Canvas, Painting and Creating the Tapestry. We assist in the integrity and design of system, strategy and structures.
We are RIGHTEOUSLY RADICAL in pursuit of becoming more like Jesus. We are declared righteous even though experientially we are fellow strugglers. We are thought leaders who think outside of the box. We are misfits committed to an extreme way of living. We are advocates for change.
The mission of Jesus is the Church. We are not talking about buildings and programs. We are talking about a community of believers on a hunt for wisdom and pilgrims on an adventure to explore God’s creation and live out our purpose in our generation. Our goal is for every member to be on mission. We are committed to loving God and loving people in that order. We embrace a presence of belonging before believing. We are more concerned about where you are going than where you have been.
