The Gospel
The good news is not a list to agree with — it is the announcement that the kingdom of God has come near, here and now, in the person of Christ.

Homewood, Alabama
A grace-filled family of followers of Jesus
Centered on the gospel, sent out together as local missionaries to make disciples. Wherever you are on the journey — certain, curious, or somewhere in between — there is a place for you here.
You Are Welcome Here
A community where it is safe to question, struggle, and doubt
We gather on Sunday mornings as a family to be reminded of God's work in our lives and within our community, and to celebrate the grace of Christ at work all around us. After we gather, we scatter back into the world to live on mission together with Jesus.
We strive for informal reverence in our time together. Expect responsive readings, silent confession, singing, teaching of Scripture, and weekly communion — gathered around tables rather than rows.
When We Meet
Sundays from 9:30 to 10:45 AM. Come a few minutes early for coffee and conversation — there is no rush and no dress code.

What About My Kids?
Children are part of the family. Kids are welcome in our gathering, and a children's ministry for birth through elementary meets during the service with a separate time of discipleship.
Our Life Together
Centered on the gospel. Surrounded in community. Sent on mission.
These three words shape everything we do — how we worship, how we share life, and how we move into our neighborhoods.
Community
Missional communities are the main artery supplying the heartbeat of our church — smaller groups meeting in neighborhoods across the city.

Mission
All of life is lived on mission. We partner with ministries locally and around the world who share the same gospel heartbeat.

Who We Are Becoming
Four values that shape our life together
We are a community with a generous orthodoxy — leaving space for the Holy Spirit to teach, guide, and convict us as we humbly seek.
Hospitality
We welcome all people with radical grace and unconditional love, because we ourselves were welcomed first.
Luke 10 · Mark 2:15 · John 6Missional
All of our discipleship and faith formation is for the purpose of being equipped to be a sent people on mission with Christ.
Genesis 12 · John 20 · JonahCommunity
We share life together with radical transparency, centered on the teachings of Jesus, reflecting a local expression of the body of Christ.
Luke 5 · John 15:12–17 · John 13:35Discipleship
We value growing from unbelief to belief in every area of our lives — and helping others do the same — because following Jesus touches everything.

October 2023
We have been entrusted by God with gifts, time, finances, and health for the work he prepared in advance for us to do.
The grace of Christ extended to us through faith is transformational — from selfish to selfless, seeking ways to live out this grace in everyday living.
Grace is perhaps the most misunderstood doctrine of the Christian faith. If we truly grasped its truth, we would be set free.
