WHO WE ARE

Over the last year we have simplified the language around our church’s mission, vision, strategy and core values into

a simple understandable identity statement.

Center Church is:

CENTERED IN THE LIFE AND MISSION OF JESUS.

CENTERED IN THE LIFE OF JESUS

We believe that Jesus is the Center of it all. It is in him that we discover the freedom and fullness of life in salvation. It is in him that we discover the depth, beauty, and richness of life in the ongoing work of sanctification. Jesus is not a small part of a life that revolves around us. He is the center of our lives and everything revolves around him. A life centered in Christ is a surrendered life of love and devotion to him, focused on being with him, to become more like him, to be who he created us to be and do all he has created us to do. The evidence of a Christ centered life becomes obvious to those around us in things like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control.

(John 3:16, , John 10:10, John 14:6, John 15:5, Matthew 10:39, Mark 12:30-31, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 2:20, Colossians 1:15-20, 2 Timothy 1:9)

CENTERED IN THE MISSION OF JESUS

As we live centered in the life of Jesus it is only natural that we would share the mission of Jesus. He made his mission clear when he said he came to seek and save the lost and he commissioned us to participate in this work in the great commission when he called us go and make disciples. As we live centered in the mission of Jesus we embrace the reality that he doesn’t just save us from sin he saves us for his purposes. He saves us to serve those around, he saves us to share the hope that we have and he sends us as his hands and feet to a lost, broken and hurting world as his ambassadors.

(Luke 4:18, Luke 19:10, Matthew 28:18-20, 2 Corinthians 5:17-20, Ephesians 4:8-10, Ephesians 4:11-13,

JESUS CENTERED – LIFE TOGETHER

We believe that is the life that we were created for. A life that full and free and centered in the life and mission of Jesus. We do not do that alone or in isolation. This life is life together, in community, growing and thriving in transformational relationships with one another. This is how the church began in Acts 2 that captivated the attention of the world around them and it is the life that Jesus still invites us to experience together today.
