Who We Are

We are Christians who…

 

…believe the Bible is the revelation of God’s plan to overtake the world through sacrificial love.  The story of the Scriptures reveals that we have been created by God to be loved by Him and to love His creation with that same love.  We acknowledge the Scriptures authority for those who trust God and we submit ourselves to the reading, hearing, and transforming power of that story together.

 

 …confess that we have not loved God or his creation sacrificially, but selfishly.

 

…trust Jesus of Nazareth as the perfect example of God’s love.  His life is the pattern for those who will come after Him.  He died that the world might live.

 

…submit to the Holy Spirit to transform our whole selves into the image of Jesus so that we can join God in loving the world more accurately.  We recognize that this will compel us to seek out forgotten, mistreated and oppressed peoples in Indianapolis and around the world.

 

…are confident that one day Jesus will return to complete what he started in his life and ministry.  He will rule the earth with justice and mercy. 

 

…engage in living out Christ’s vision for creation now in eager anticipation of the fullness to come.  We acknowledge that our active engagement in the mission of Jesus will take us to the forgotten places and mistreated peoples in Indianapolis and around the world.

 

We are organized as a church so that we can become more like Jesus together and love the city of Indianapolis and the world accurately.

 

House Church is the context of our formation in the image of Jesus and service to the places where God has planted us locally.

 

We gather together on Sundays in Broad Ripple and on the west side of Indianapolis to express our thankfulness to God for what He is doing in restoring all things.

 

We are listening and waiting to hear from God as to where He wants us to go and tell His story.
