Who

We Are

A House for His Presence

A House for All People

A House for Your Purpose

Gather with us on Sunday mornings for a powerful time of encountering God in His presence. Engage in a time of passionate worship, impactful preaching, and life-changing prayer.

Our Vision

To build a resting place for God’s presence and space for all people to become devoted followers of Jesus until the Treasure Valley looks like heaven.

Our Call

We believe God has called us to be a training and resource center for the Northwest and the world.

Our Mission

Is to equip & empower you to fulfill your purpose in Christ.

Our Values

Presence-Driven

We passionately pursue God’s presence through prayer, worship, and abiding in Christ. The presence of God is more than an experience, it is God’s person and reality among His people. We believe one touch from Jesus changes everything, and His presence is where we are most fulfilled. (Psalm 16:11, Hebrews 4:16, John 15:5)

Family-Oriented

We believe that whole and healthy families change the world! In our community, there is a seat at the table for ALL people. Everyone is significant, valued, and loved by the Father. And our heart is for you to know Jesus, discover your purpose, and belong in family. (John 3:16, Acts 17:25-27, Romans 11:29)

Bible-Centered

We love God’s Word! The Bible is the bedrock of our faith and ultimate source of truth. Through the written and verbal proclamation of Scripture, we experience personal and cultural transformation. When we abide in His Word and allow His Word to abide in us, we become more like Jesus. (Matthew 4:4, 2 Timothy 3:16, Psalm 119:89)

Gospel-Saturated

We are unashamed of the Gospel, because the Gospel has taken away our shame. In our community we are confident in the power of the Gospel, “the Good News” of Jesus to save every soul. Jesus' finished work sets us free from sin, sickness, and death; and causes us to be whole and holy people that shine His light in a dark world. A Gospel-Saturated life is our lens and exceedingly great joy. (Romans 1:16, Luke 2:10-11, Titus 3:5, Ephesians 2:1-9)

Kingdom-Minded

We long to see God’s reality become our own. Jesus taught us to pray “Your Kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven”. Whenever Jesus preached the Kingdom, he would also demonstrate it. The sick were healed, demons cast out, and dead were raised. We believe it still must be demonstrated today! Our prayer and heartbeat is for His kingdom to advance in our city until it looks like heaven. (Matthew 6:33, Matthew 6:1, Acts 17:7, 1 Timothy 1:17)

Spirit-Led

We are unapologetically Spirit-led and Spirit-filled. The Holy Spirit is the greatest Leader. We may not do it perfectly, but we seek to follow Him over our plans. He is still speaking, still pouring out, still working miracles, and still Lord. We don’t just make room for Him, we give Him the whole room. (Romans 8:14, Galatian 5:16, John 16:13, 2 Corinthians 3:17)

Future-Focused

We will leave a legacy for generations to come. While we honor the past, and live in the present, we are hopeful for the future. That means we must build up, believe in, and empower the next generation to know Jesus and discover their purpose. There is no junior Holy Spirit! (Acts 2:17, Psalm 78:4, Matthew 18:2, Jeremiah 29:11)

Our Beliefs

Jesus Christ

Jesus is the prophesied Messiah, the one and only begotten Son of God, the exact representation of God-fully human and fully God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, and died and rose again to reconcile all people to God and free them from the power of sin and the devil. He will return again to reign over His Kingdom (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-38; Romans 9:5; Titus 2:13).

The Bible

It is God’s Word to man, living and active, inspired, infallible, and authoritative (Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21).

Sin

Sin was introduced into mankind through Adam, the first man. His sin enslaved the world and mankind to the power of the devil. All of mankind has sinned, and the penalty is death-separation from God. Jesus Christ, God’s Son, paid the penalty for sin to reconcile mankind to God. Everyone who repents and trusts in Jesus for forgiveness of sin is forgiven and free from the curse of sin and death (Romans 5:12-21, 6:23; Ephesians 2:1-5).

Salvation

Salvation is a free gift from God, received through belief in Jesus, His finished work on the cross, and His resurrection from the dead. Salvation is freedom from the power of sin and death for body, soul, and spirit (Romans 1:16; Ephesians 2:8-9).

God

The Godhead is Triune in nature, manifested as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (John 1:1-2, 14; John 4:24; Acts 5:3-4; Ephesians 4:5-6; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

The Holy Spirit

Jesus baptizes the believer with the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ. The Holy Spirit sanctifies and purifies the believer, drawing them to God and empowering them to be the witnesses of His Kingdom and resurrection (John 1:33; Acts 1:8; John 16:5-15; Titus 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 2:13; Romans 8:16, 23, 26, 27; 1 Corinthians 12:1-31).

Miracles/Healings

Miracles and healings were the works Jesus and His disciples demonstrated to confirm the good news of God’s Kingdom advancing against the dominion of the devil. All believers today are empowered to demonstrate these works and, thereby, advance His Kingdom (Matthew 4:17, 23, 12:28, 28:19-20; John 9:4, 10:37; Mark 16:17-20; 1 Corinthians 12:9-10).

Ordinances

Jesus and the early church gave us two ordinances: Baptism and Communion. We hold fast to these ordinances and practice them in accordance with the truth.

Baptism

We believe water baptism is a physical representation of a spiritual reality, where the believer identifies with the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Raised into newness of life, dead to sin and alive to God through Jesus Christ, we baptize believers in water into the name of Jesus, according to Acts 2:38: 'Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit." (Romans 6:3-4, 1 Peter 3:21-22).

Communion

Every month, as a body, we partake of communion-remembering the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ and the New Covenant we have been born into through the death, burial, resurrection and ascension of Jesus Christ. We believe the Blood of Jesus was offered for the forgiveness of sins, and His broken Body was offered for the salvation and healing of mankind. As we partake in this holy ordinance, it is important to examine ourselves rightly in light of the forgiveness and healing offered through His meal (Matthew 26:26-29, Mark 14:22-25, Luke 22:14-20, 1 Cor. 11:23-26).

Gospel of the Kingdom of God

As prophesied by Daniel, God’s rule, authority, and realm were inaugurated by the incarnation of Jesus, our king. When He came, He preached a message about the coming of His Kingdom and demonstrated its advancement against the Kingdom of the enemy by healing the sick and casting out devils. He entrusted the advancement of His Kingdom to His disciples, with the expectation that this Gospel be taken throughout the earth until the day He returns to receive His Kingdom (Daniel 2:44; John 18:36; Matthew 4:17, 23, 12:28; Revelation 11:15, 12:10).

Second Coming

In the ever-increasing government of God and in the hope of the return of Jesus Christ for believers, heaven and hell are real places. There will be a resurrection of both the saved and the lost-one to everlasting life and the other to everlasting death (Isaiah 9:7; Hebrews 9:28; Revelation 20:11-15; John 6:40; Luke 23:43; John 14:3).
