As a movement, our core values are very important to us. Our values are not bound to a page as an institution because they live and breathe like an organism. At our core we are Missionaries, Social Visionaries, Culture Shapers, and Spiritual Protagonists called to impact the world for Christ.

As Missionaries, we seek people on the fringes of culture who are considered outsiders as spiritual archeologist. We excavate the power of Christ lying beneath the ruins of past pain, present fears, and future hopes. We don’t bring Christ to others, we unearth the mission of God in the misery of everyday people.

As Social Visionaries, we see sacred potential in secular people, places, and spaces. We look for what God is doing in every cluttered, chaotic, and dark place in life. In Genesis 1:1-3 God had social vision when he took a planetary blob of nothingness and saw a new beginning. We see the messiah working in every mess to recreate a Genesis.

As Culture Shapers, we are social sculptors who seek to shape culture for Christ globally. We influence the music, the poetry, the literature, the dance, and the philosophy of our world through intentional relationships and public worship experiences.

As Spiritual Protagonists, we are the characters that lead as we tell the story of God in the world. We promote the love, beauty, and creativity that makes life meaningful and is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen.
