Core Convictions
The church ought to be the most creative place on the planet.
We’re interdenominational in makeup, with lots of people from lots of church or non-church backgrounds. We’re orthodox in faith but a little unorthodox in practice. Our calling is to bless the Lord, bless the city, and bless the nations.
