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.  

Praising the Lord

MISSION & VALUES

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  



Gathering at home and at church

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.
