Beliefs
Affiliations
We are affiliated with Thrive Church Planting Network and believe in the multiplying nature of the church. We are also connected to our local network of churches in the greater Eugene area through our partnership with the One Hope Network.
Statements of Faith
We read, interpret, and teach the Bible with a humble posture and in conversation with the historical, global, and local church. We emphasize our unity with other Christians, take Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount seriously, and doctrinally align with the Apostle’s Creed, Nicene Creed, and Lausanne Covenants. Our gatherings are casual, liturgical, and shaped around the historic church calendar.
