what we believe

Love God. Love People. Share the Good News.

Our Vision.

For Jesus to be the biggest deal in Seward, in Alaska and beyond.

Our Mission.

LOVE GOD. LOVE PEOPLE. SHARE THE GOOD NEWS.
We live out the mission God has given us through making disciples and serving our city.
We aim to be salt and light to the world, as Jesus tells us in Matthew 5:13-16. Like salt, we want to bring change into our culture. Like light, we want to light up the dark and bring joy to our surroundings.

Core Values.

JESUS  
JESUS IS OUR MESSAGE
He is our hope, our joy, and our peace. We desire for Jesus to be the biggest deal in Seward.
Philippians 2:9, Colossians 1:15-23, Matthew 16:18, John 1:14 and 3:16-17

PEOPLE  
WE LOVE ALL PEOPLE
We love the church, our city, and especially those who are broken and far off. We have a heart for the youth, to build community and to help strengthen families.
Ephesians 2:19-20, John 13:34-35, Romans 12:10

GRACE  
GRACE IS WHAT WE HAVE RECEIVED AND WHAT WE EXTEND TO OTHERS
Because of God's grace, we can be honest, transparent, authentic...knowing that we are a "work in progress" resting on the finished work of Jesus.
Romans 5:20, Ephesians 2:8-9

GROWTH
WE BELIEVE HEALTHY THINGS GROW  
By being rooted in God's Word and by the leading and filling of the Holy Spirit, we are being transformed from the inside out.
2 Peter 3:18, Psalm 1:2-3, Colossians 1:5-6 and 9-10

WORSHIP
WORSHIP IS OUR RESPONSE
Whether through song and art, through serving and giving, in the workplace or at home, worship is our lifestyle.
Psalm 145:1-4, Romans 12:1-2, John 4:23-24

We believe.

We believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

We believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he will come again to judge the living and the dead.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

AMEN.
