We are a Community Following Jesus
We are a community following Jesus, committed to learning the teachings of Jesus, the practices of the early church, and applying them to the soil of our community (Atwater and surrounding areas). As 21st century disciples of Jesus, we seek the renewal of our city by restoring hope through the story of God and His redeeming power.

Loving people as we follow Jesus into our next step.
Our Mission: Our mission is the same one Jesus gave His disciples before He ascended: "Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you."
Our Strategy: "Loving people as we follow Jesus into our next step."
Our Core Values (Purposeful Behaviors):
1) Pray
2) Give
3) Invite
4) Gather
5) Serve
Life is Better Together
We gather to explore what it means to follow Jesus in our cultural context and moment. We gather on Sunday mornings in church and in homes during the week to practice the teachings of Jesus in community. We believe that it is in loving community that true transformation takes place.
We believe that following Jesus is more than just a Sunday gathering. Throughout the week we meet in homes in our community to grow in our love for God, one another, our neighbor and our city. This the primary way that we grow as disciples of Jesus, together and in our community.
Hope Kids
If you have children (newborn - 5th grade), we have a special place just for them Sunday mornings in our Fruitland Christian Preschool building and our youth (6th grade - 12th grade) meet Sunday afternoons (2:30 pm - 5 pm) in the Fellowship Hall where they all are able to learn about Jesus at their level. We are passionate about developing life-long followers of Jesus!
