Our Mission

We exist to:

• HONOR GOD through genuine worship, biblical teaching, and moral living
• LOVE THE COMMUNITY with humble service, selfless giving, and meaningful involvement
• LIVE LIKE FAMILY by helping each other become better followers of Christ, equipping people for ministry, and sharing daily life together.

Our Vision

We believe God has called us to focus on reaching those who live, work, shop, or go to school in downtown Chapel Hill and Carrboro who do not regularly attend any church.

We envision ourselves ten years from now a vibrant, growing assortment of people striving to function as a family would as we honor our God and love our whole community.

We want to be known for:

• Our selfless involvement in our local community by means of joining and volunteering in the charities and outreaches already going on in the area.
• Our active participation in the issues and concerns of the town, the surrounding area, and the world through service, church planting, and a missional mindset.
• Our informed faith that embraces the intellect as a means of appreciating, functioning in, and communicating with the world.
• Our deep faith that understands that there are some mysteries of God that we can study but that we may never fully understand.

We want our church to feel like a collection of people who:

• Genuinely care about each other, and who choose to spend time together as part of daily life.
• Are diverse with regards to race, economic status, education level, and political views.
• Include many others and who don’t hunker down in church-land and forget the world of people outside the church doors.
• Commit themselves to their church family and to their God and to working things out, who are loyal to each other and don’t leave the moment they get their feelings hurt.

We want our gathering space dedicated to:

• Worship gatherings on Sundays and throughout the week.
• The practice and celebration of the arts and people who do them by providing free work space, practice space, collaborative workshops, galleries, concerts, and literary readings.
• A third space—a neighborhood living room of sorts—a meeting place designed for various formal and informal gatherings, studying, games, and conversation.
