Arlington

As a church, we are an embassy of God’s heavenly kingdom sent to our city for the purpose of representing the beliefs, values, and beauty of that kingdom.  Our desire is to embody God’s reign in word, deed, and lifestyle that “His kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10).

We believe the desperate problem with our city is the rejection of God’s reign – this is the condition of sin – that shattered God’s relationship to man, man’s relationship to himself, man’s relationship to others, and man’s relationship to the created world.  However, we also believe that God intends, through the gospel, to remedy this problem.  The gospel floods the channels dredged out by sin with God’s transforming power of new creation.

Therefore, our mission is to bring the transforming powers of the gospel to bear in Arlington.  Though we cannot bring in the renewal of all things ourselves (this only happens when Jesus returns), we do seek to bear witness to what the world will be like when Jesus returns to restore it.
