Mission and vision
Our mission is to bear witness to Jesus's life-changing mercy and grace in North Spokane, particularly to the communities surrounding Whitworth University and the students who attend.We envision a church where the skeptical, curious, and committed find Jesus Christ and, with him, the freedom to struggle and the encouragement to make a difference.
Moreover, we envision scores of students and long-time residents of North Spokane being converted, discipled, and sent into the world as pastors, church planters, and, maybe most importantly, faithful church members.
Values
RECONCILIATION: You can come home.
Because of our sins and brokenness, we are alienated from God by nature and choice. The good news of the gospel is that Jesus has come. He lived the life we should have lived, died the death we should have died, and, after rising from the dead, he sat at the right hand of God the Father, where he constantly reminds the Father that we are reconciled.RESTORATION: You are free to struggle.
Jesus saves us from our sins and has sent his Spirit to grow us more and more into his likeness. He is also committed to our restoration into who he created us to be. That means that our trauma can be redeemed, and our shame can be transformed into a testimony of God’s grace.TRANSFORMATION: You can make a difference.
Because we are reconciled to God and others and are being restored to what God intends us to be, we are also called to be agents of transformation in the lives of others, in our communities, our workplaces, and our city. Through our work and witness, the city of Spokane can and will begin to look more and more like the City of God.
