Mission:
Grace + Peace seeks the renewal of Colorado Springs by connecting with God, caring for others, and cultivating in the city for the glory of Jesus Christ.
Vision:
Following Jesus in the renewal of all things.
Values:
Gospel
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, ‘The righteous shall live by faith.’” Romans 1:16-17
Everyone is made in God’s image and possess unique value and dignity, yet our sin has broken us. Thankfully, Jesus died for us, conquered the grave, and reigns over sin and death.
Authentic unity
“For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility.” Ephesians 2:14
Jesus overcomes our differences by reconciling a holy God and sinful humanity. Therefore, we can have unity in Jesus regardless of politics, race, culture, or generation.
Discipleship with Monday in Mind
“And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.” Colossians 3:17
Jesus saves us, for not only church on Sunday, but also life on Monday. Christian life is holistic: bringing his kingdom of love and justice into every facet of everyday.
City engagement
“But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you… and pray to the Lord on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare.” -Jeremiah 29:7
Jesus is renewing everything, thus we seek downtown’s renewal by contributing our time and resources to existing organizations who make our city a place where everyone can flourish as God intends.
Humility on the journey
“Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” Mark 9:24
While God’s truth is knowable in this life, we sometimes have doubts and questions. We don’t have all the answers. Yet, we seek to willingly and humbly trust Jesus’ leading and position as the ultimate answer.
