God is our obsession and people are our passion.


Churches and ministries today have become hiding places for Christians rather than bodies of believers that can affect the culture surrounding us. It needs an injection of power. Our goal is to show people that Jesus gave us ideas that are relevant and lives that can be used to bring the light of God into a dark world. Through biblical truth and true worship, we want to fuel the fires of a generation that has the potential and passion to invade the world with a love for God that will draw others. We want to start ripples in society that will lead to change. The only way to cause a ripple is to disturb the water. We can no longer speak in terms of reconciliation with our culture. We need people who are willing to risk everything to pervade the ideas of our culture with love. A love that is intoxicating, not nauseating. It is time to shock someone! When was the last time you were startled by Jesus? We want to move past simple lip service and develop lives that will put into action the things that Jesus sacrificed Himself for. Jesus did not die for an idea or a theology; He died for people. God is our obsession and people are our passion.
