Who We Are

It’s simple. We love Jesus. Our mission is to SEE HIM and behold His glory. We trust that if we keep the First Commandment first in our hearts, the Great Commissions simply becomes our nature. Our goal is not to build a great ministry, but to build an altar to His name and a memorial to the face of our beloved Lord Jesus.

“But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.”

2 Corinthians 3:18

He is the Good Shepherd and He is worthy of His bride. Our passion is to love the Lord Jesus and seek His face. Our trust is, if we lay ourselves down at His feet, He will produce His works in us and through us.

Core Values

1. The LOVE of Jesus

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” -John 15:13

“By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.” -1 John 3:16

Jesus is love, its His very nature. He came from the Father to seek and save the lost, through freely offering His love to an undeserving people. He is the Lover who laid down His life for an unfaithful bride, simply loving because He purposed in His heart to do so. We are only able to love Him because He first loved us. It is the love of Christ that transforms and compels us to serve His people. An encounter with His love is the only thing that can truly change a heart. We simply desire to be vessels of this love.

We commit to receiving and being purified by the love of God in order that we might be carriers of this love to a world that does not know Him.

2. The HUMILITY of Jesus

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” –Matthew 11:28-30

“who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. –Philippians 4:6-7

Jesus was the ultimate expression of humility. Its only because of His humility that those crushed in spirit can find rest in Him. His lowliness is what causes Him to be a resting place as He became the servant of all. Christ’s humility was on full display on the cross. He lowered himself below all in order to serve all. Our desire is to be confirmed to the same likeness of Jesus, so that in taking the lowest place, we might lift others up to Him.

We commit to walk humbly before the Lord and others, always taking the posture of a servant.

3. The OBEDIENCE of Jesus

“And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.” –Philippians 2:8

“If you love me, you will obey my commandments.” –John 14:15

Obedience is at the heartbeat of the Gospel. Jesus modeled obedience by becoming a man and living a life completely reliant on, and confirmed to, the will of the Father. He did nothing of His own initiative, but laid down His own life for the plan of God. Jesus went to the cross trusting, by faith, that the Father would not only resurrect and glorify Him, but that He would deliver many sons and daughters unto glory. It was His love for the Father which produced obedience in Him. Our belief is that our love and passion for God is what allows the Holy Spirit to create obedient hearts within us and transform us into the Image of the Son Of God.

We commit to know the voice of our shepherd and quickly obey wherever He leads.

4. The SUFFERING of Jesus

“looking only at Jesus, the originator and perfecter of the faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” –Hebrews 12:2

“that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,” –Philippians 3:10

We cannot overlook the suffering of Christ, but we must rather learn to embrace Him fully. The cross is not the place we start at and graduate from in order to attain His glory. The cross is His glory. It is the perfected love of the Father on display in His perfect Son. Every true walk with the Lord calls us to share not only in His resurrection power but invites us into His heart by sharing in His crucified life.

Our desire is to not run away from His suffering but to fix our eyes upon the Lord and embrace whatever He sets before us with His joy as our strength. He is close to the brokenhearted. One cannot be close to the brokenhearted without sharing in their broken heart. We desire is to walk with Him in this fellowship and carry such love into all places.

We commit to daily take up our cross and follow Him, no matter the cost.

5. The FACE of Jesus

“But he would withdraw to desolate places and pray.” –Luke 5:16

“One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in his temple.” –Psalm 27:4

In the middle of Jesus’ biggest triumphs He would suddenly withdraw to be with the Father. He did not seek the glory that comes from man, rather the glory that comes from the one and only God. Our desire is to be ministers unto the Lord first and to people second, so that everything we do comes from His presence. We understand that we have nothing to offer anyone in and of ourselves, but if He is with us, nothing is impossible for God.

We commit to daily seek His face above all else, in the hope that all present and future ministry might be birthed in His presence.
