our Vision

Our Vision is to see God’s kingdom fill all of life in Guadalupe.

our Values

  • Everything we do flows from wholehearted love for God and genuine love for others. God’s love defines our purpose, directs our steps, and compels us to pour out that same love into the lives of those around us (Matthew 22:37–39).

  • We join Jesus in His mission to make disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey everything He commanded. Our community exists not simply for itself, but to multiply His Kingdom (Matthew 28:18–20).

  • Prayer is our lifeline to God—a living expression of relationship and the foundation from which all of our ministry and mission flow. We prioritize the Spirit’s presence, leadership, and power over our own strength or strategies.  (Philippians 4:6–7; John 15:5).

  • God’s Word shapes our beliefs, our lives, and our community. We submit to Scripture as the ultimate authority and source of truth. We aim to live our lives as people of integrity pursuing holiness in all that we say and do. (2 Timothy 3:16–17; Psalm 1:2–3).

  • Just as Jesus entered our world, we seek to enter the lives and contexts of others with humility and love. We live out the gospel in ways that are authentic and relevant to our community.  Rather than removing people from their relational and missional contexts, we engage them where they are—meeting them on their own turf—and encourage them to influence and reach their own networks of relationships. (John 1:14; 1 Cor.9:22–23).

  • We embrace a simple, uncluttered way of following Jesus, free from the distractions of hierarchy, complexity, materialism and excess. Our faith and ministry model are intentionally simple and reproducible, empowering everyday people to live and lead with contentment and clarity (Micah 6:8; Matthew 6:33).

  • We follow Jesus to the margins, extending His love to those the world often ignores. Compelled by compassion, we walk with the poor and the broken in ways that restore dignity and empower lasting transformation (Matthew 25:40; Luke 4:18–19).

  • We value honesty and authenticity before God and one another, embracing vulnerability and truth. Real transformation begins when we drop the masks and walk in the light (James 5:16; 1 John 1:7).

  • God has uniquely gifted each member of His body, and every gift matters. No role or contribution is more important than another. We encourage every person to participate by offering their gifts, talents, and passions for the good of our spiritual family and the growth of God’s Kingdom. We make room for people to serve and express their gifts creatively, so long as they align with our shared values (Romans 12:4–6; 1 Corinthians 12:4-27).

  • We follow the example of Jesus by choosing humility and serving others with self-giving love. Rather than seeking status or recognition, we place the needs of others before our own and posture ourselves as learners before God. True greatness is found not in being served, but in humbly serving others for God’s glory (Mark 10:45; Philippians 2:3–8; 1 Peter 5:5–6).

What We Believe

The Bible

We believe the Bible is inspired by God, completely trustworthy, and the final authority for what we believe and how we live.

God

We believe there is one God who exists eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Jesus Christ

We believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died on the cross for our sins through His shed blood, rose from the dead, ascended to the Father, and will return again in power and glory.

Salvation

We believe all people are sinful and in need of salvation, which comes through the work of the Holy Spirit who gives new life to those who trust in Jesus.

The Holy Spirit

We believe the Holy Spirit lives within believers and empowers them to live godly lives.

Resurrection & Judgement

We believe in the future resurrection of both the saved and the lost—those who belong to Christ to eternal life, and those who reject Him to judgment.

The Church

We believe all believers in Jesus Christ are spiritually united as one family in Him.

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19-20 (NIV)
