We believe that God looks like Jesus, and we seek to look like him, too. Jesus is the basis of everything we do and aim to be. He holds our congregation and its ministry together and is the one we put our hope and trust in for now and forever. He is the one who centers the way we read and interpret Scripture, and he is our foundation. We practice life together as apprentices to Jesus Christ.

We believe in the good news of Jesus—and that it is truly good news. Our world is filled with bad news, but Jesus is working in us and around us to make all things new.

We believe that every person is created in the image of God, is valued by Him, and is deserving of dignity, kindness, and respect—no exceptions. We love God when we love one another.

We believe that we were created to have meaningful relationships with one another. When we sit around a table to ask questions, listen, and learn, we find ourselves becoming more like Jesus.

We believe that God not only cares about but is intimately involved in addressing the issues of our world. One way He does that is through His people. With wisdom, justice, and love, we advocate for our suffering neighbors in the example set by Jesus as He advocates for us.

We believe that God is working all around us and in us, helping us become more like Him through His Spirit. When we find ourselves becoming more loving, joyful, peaceful, patient, kind, good, faithful, and gentle, we know He is near.

We believe that Jesus loves Jonesboro and everyone who lives here. Our commitment is to the people of this city and to seeing each person flourish and lead a fulfilling life with God’s help. We’re not here to control or manage human-beings, we’re here to love.
