About theHeart 

Our DNA as a faith community has always been to reach people who identify as the displaced church—anyone who feels disconnected from God—and walk with them into restored relationship through Christ’s love. We take the posture that in the essentials of our faith we find unity, in the non-essentials we embrace liberty, and in all things we offer love. Our desire it to be known for what we’re for more than what we’re against.  Everything we do as a community of believers—in worship, as a part of a group, or in service to others—can be modeled with a clear understanding and healthy commitment to five distinct values: Simple, Loving, True, Called, and Mobile.
