Who We Are
We exist to be Salt and Light in Colorado Springs with the good news of Jesus Christ.
We orient our church life around 4 Essentials and 4 Gatherings
Four Essentials
Essential #1 The Gospel
We orient our lives around the good news of the grace of Jesus Christ. His death and resurrection saves all who turn to Him in faith, reconciling us to the Father, and forgiving our sins. (Ephesians 2:4-10)
Essential #2 The Great Commission
We orient our mission around Jesus’ commission to make disciples of all nations by teaching the obedience of all Christ’s commands and baptizing in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. (Matthew 28:18-20)
Essential #3 The Greatest Commandment
We orient our hearts around what Jesus called “The Greatest Commandment” - loving God with our whole hearts, and loving our neighbors as ourselves. Everything we do aims to flow from a heart of genuine love. (Mark 12:28-31)
Essential #4 The Fruit of the Spirit
We orient our transformation around the The Fruit of the Spirit, virtues and attitudes that God values. We seek to bear God’s image on earth by prioritizing qualities like joy, peace, gentleness, and humility. (Galatians 5:22-25)
Four Gatherings
Gathering #1 Sunday Worship
We gather every Sunday morning to worship, to sit under teachings from the Bible, to participate in the sacrament of communion, and to connect with one another. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
Gathering #2 Monthly Prayer
We gather on the first Friday of every month to seek the Lord together by lifting up our hearts to God in prayer - expressing our thanksgivings, joys, sorrows, and requests. (Acts 2:42)
Gathering #3 Seasonal Small Groups
We gather in Gospel Communities for 8-12 week seasons for intentional discipling, as we believe gospel transformation flourishes in mutual relationships. In between Gospel Community seasons, we gather for 4-6 week Discipleship Sprints, which are opportunities to deeply interact with specific topics that affect the church. (Acts 2:42)
Gathering #4 “Front Porches”
We gather regularly in metaphorical Front Porches - no-pressure relational spaces to create connection. Think Park Days, Q&As, and backyard parties - spaces for all people, churched and unchurched, to experience the hospitality of Salt. (Matthew 9:9-13)
