About Us
A Deeper Look at Pillar
Our Core Values
Innocence
Matthew 10:16
Godly simplicity with the absence of ungodly motivation. We read Scripture like it’s the first time. We refuse to manipulate, trusting God to accomplish what only He can.
Generosity
2 Corinthians 9:6-7 1
Being sacrificially openhanded in giving to God and to others. You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving. We live to give because we love the Giver.
Obedience
Deuteronomy 6:4-5
We love to Shema: to hear so clearly and strongly that we are compelled to obey. Obedience is the daily evidence that Jesus is Lord of our lives.
Unity
Psalm 133
Being of one accord, living in harmony. While we are many parts, together we make up the whole. United, we support and encourage one another, and together we thrive.
Develop
Hebrews 12:1
Our definition: the act of personally developing by constantly improving. Healthy things grow. We don’t just want to grow, we are serious about actually doing it.
Romance
Matthew 6:7-8
The art of unpredictable pursuit. Jesus did not die for a boringly religious relationship with you. He died for a romantically intimate one. We will never settle for religion.
Our Mission
Follow the Pillar
Belief in Jesus Christ is the bedrock. Our desire is to reveal the nature of God and who He created you to be by strengthening your faith and deepening your surrender to His grace.
- Worship – Pursue God with childlike excitement, as if encountering Him for the first time.
- Obey – Hear Him so clearly and strongly that you are compelled to act on what He says.
Strengthen your pillars
We are the chief stewards of our lives. Walking with Jesus should transform our thinking and result in visible fruit. As we strengthen our whole person, we become a living testimony of a surrendered life to Him.
- Relational
- Emotional
- Physical
- Financial
- Spiritual
- Professional

Our Beliefs
The Trinity
We believe, based on both the Old and New Testaments, that God is one and yet exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God the Father
God the Father is the creator and sustainer of all things, and He created the universe in love. Humanity was created in His image for fellowship, and God called people back to Himself through Christ after the fall.
The Son
Jesus Christ is eternally God. He was with the Father and the Holy Spirit from the beginning, and through Him all things were created. For the redemption of humanity, He became incarnate by the Holy Spirit through the virgin Mary, fully God and fully man in one person.
The Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is God, the Lord and giver of life. He was active in the Old Testament and was given to the Church in fullness at Pentecost. The Spirit empowers believers for service and witness, transforms our nature to reflect Christ, and equips us with spiritual gifts and the fruit of the Spirit.
The Atonement
The Christian Life
Baptism and Communion
The Church observes two enduring ordinances:
-
Baptism is an outward sign of what God has done in a person’s life, identifying them with Jesus Christ in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
-
The Lord’s Supper commemorates the death of Jesus and signifies our participation in Him, continuing until His return. Both ordinances are reserved for believers.
