A Lifetime of Music

We warmly embrace one another as family, celebrating our diversity and nurturing inclusive communities with 250,000 members in more than 60 nations. We seek genuine, vulnerable connections with each other and with God.
We believe everyone is called to make a positive difference in our world. We develop and equip people of all ages to generously share the peace of Jesus Christ and courageously pursue justice.
We offer a community where you can belong, be valued and loved, deepen your spirituality, and discover a purpose that can change lives and communities.
Our Enduring Principles define the essence, heart, and soul of our faith community. They describe the personality of our church as expressed throughout the world.
God’s revelation in Jesus Christ and continuing presence through the Holy Spirit, as proclaimed by scripture, is the foundation of our faith, identity, mission, message, and beliefs. We do our best to uphold these principles (values, concepts, themes) as a faithful response to our heritage and our continuing experience with God, Christ, and the Holy Spirit.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.
In Luke 4:18–19, Jesus proclaims his mission when he reads from the Isaiah scroll and is anointed for a divine mission:
Reaching the brokenhearted, the suffering, and those who need hope and Christ's peace.
Sent to proclaim good news and invite others to join him in mission.
Release those held captive by unjust systems and the circumstances of life that devalue the worth of any person.
Those first Christians continued Christ’s mission by proclaiming the Living Christ, inviting all people into fellowship, valuing the worth of each person, generously and compassionately meeting their needs, and pursuing justice and peace for everyone. Our call is to reclaim the same vision and passion for the full mission of Jesus Christ today through five Mission Initiatives.
