DISCOVER AXIOM

AS WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER IN THE WAY THAT JESUS LOVES US IT WILL BE SELF-EVIDENT (AXIOM) THAT WE ARE JESUS’ DISCIPLES.

 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.”

-John 13:34-35

VISION & MISSION

Our vision is Jesus’ vision:

“May your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” – Matthew 9:10

Our mission is Jesus’ mission:

“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.” -Matt 28:19-20

THEOLOGY

We confess to putting our faith, trust, and hope in: The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus as fully God and man. Jesus' good news that the Kingdom of God is available to all who desire it. The Kingdom of God, where transforming relationship with Father, Son, and Spirit is lived out on Earth as it is in Heaven. Our relationship with God through which we are increasingly free from the power of sin as we are renewed to desire the loving will of God until Christ returns. We are Christians rooted in the Anabaptist tradition that seeks to make Christ command to love our enemies a central part of our identity as Christians.

STORY & VALUES

Our journey began in 2013, when a group of touring musicians and creatives felt called to center their lives around Jesus. With a heart for seekers, skeptics, and the disenchanted, we recognized the church’s struggle to love those who are different. We aimed to bridge that gap by practicing relational rhythms of spiritual formation, mission, and celebration.

We felt an invitation to pioneer new, authentic ways of being a Jesus community, inspired by the One who is "the pioneer and perfecter of our faith" (Hebrews 12:1-2). He leads us inward through formation, outward through mission, and inclusively through celebration. We regularly remind our community of these values with the following phrases:

Experience Jesus • Love Peoria • Be Together
