01Grace is the place where we grow.
Just as a plant needs healthy soil to grow, we also need an environment where we can learn, be formed, receive truth, experience healthy relationships, and grow.
Grace is not something we receive only after we have succeeded in changing. We grow from the grace we have already received in Christ. Because we are loved and accepted in Christ, we can have the courage to see ourselves honestly, receive correction, take responsibility, learn, fail, and try again.
02We grow as whole persons.
Growth is not only about the spiritual aspect of our lives; it also touches the whole of our lives—our spirituality, emotions, bodies, relationships, responsibilities, potential, and calling.
We believe that every part of who we are is interconnected. Therefore, genuine growth leads us toward a healthier, more balanced life that is aligned with the purposes God has given us.
03God is the one who gives growth.
We can learn, reflect, practice, receive feedback, and grow together in healthy relationships. We participate faithfully in the process, but we cannot produce growth by our own strength.
Genuine growth is God’s work, enabling us to grow according to His good purposes for our lives.
