He has showed you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God. – Micah 6:8
Connecting with God is the essential foundation of all we do as followers of Christ. Founded on prayer, God leads us to care for each other and for His creation in a tangible and holistic way.
Being connected with God is the essential foundation of all we do as followers of Christ. We encourage you to abide in Christ daily by conversing with Him in prayer - both listening to Him and sharing what's on your heart with Him. We also encourage you to pray with fellow believers on a regular basis to seek the Lord together. Make prayer a regular part of your small group gatherings, serving opportunities, and ministry team planning.

Let's build a culture of care as we journey with Christ together. Let's work together to build an environment that is safe enough for us to share about our own burdens and allow others to care for us in our time of need.
Let's offer the gifts of walking alongside, listening, encouraging, lifting burdens in prayer, and meeting each other's needs in practical and appropriate ways. Let's also extend our care to people both inside and outside of the church.
Extend care to your family, friends, small group, and church family and allow them to extend care to you.

Social Concern
Combining our faith with action to live out the gospel in a tangible and holistic way
We share the love of Christ with the world because He loves and cares for us. We can live out the gospel in a tangible, holistic, and restorative way through social concern. We encourage you to practice social concern by relating Christ to all areas of life.
Ask God what role He has in mind for you to play. He may give you a heart to meet specific practical and spiritual needs of your community. He may give you a heart to serve Him together with peers from a range of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. He may give you a heart to care for His creation.
Allow God to show you specific areas of brokenness and issues in our community and society that He wants you to care about.
Volunteer regularly at a Christ-centered non-profit that meets practical and spiritual needs in your community and that allows people from a range of socio-economic and cultural backgrounds to serve Him together as peers.
Organize a hands-on way to meet the practical and spiritual needs in our city. The Prayer, Care, and Social Concern team would love to support you.
Participate in caring for God's creation.
