as a church we do not run from our culture…but dive head first into it.  in the same way that Jesus was the friend of
sinners…we do not build up walls and hide behind them.  we extend a compassionate hand to help the needy…the
oppressed…the lost.  as we have been blessed by God…we continue the blessing by meeting people where they are at,
loving them, and sharing Christ's love.

we believe that if we are to be the church as God intended in columbus, indiana…we must build bridges in the community,
be a light for all to see Christ, and share the transformational power of Jesus in the lives of individuals.  there is no greater
hope for our community and the surrounding areas than for the lost to discover the hope of Jesus Christ.
