Mission
Live by Faith.
Known by Love.
Be a Voice of Hope.
This is who we want to be. 1 Thessalonians 1:2–6
Jesus loves you exactly as you are, and He loves you too much to leave you there.
The BIG IdeaWhere it starts
Before you clean anything up, before you have it all figured out, God already loves you. Not the "better" version of you. You.
Jesus loves you exactly as you are…
“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
Romans 5:8
Grace that saves
We can't earn our way to God. Through Jesus, God forgives what we've done and welcomes us home. That's grace: a gift we receive by trusting Him.
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith… it is the gift of God.”
Ephesians 2:8
Saved from… and saved for
It's what He saved you for.
Grace that transforms
God doesn't stop at forgiveness. He wants to make us whole. As we surrender our whole selves to Him, His Spirit cleanses our hearts and fills them with love for God and for people. Our tradition, the Church of the Nazarene, calls this entire sanctification.
It isn't about being perfect or never messing up. It's a heart fully given to God, and a lifetime of growing more like Jesus.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart… and love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 22:37–39
Heaven, now
Following Jesus isn't only about getting to heaven when you die. It's about bringing heaven to earth now: in our homes, our workplaces, our city.
“Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.”
Matthew 6:10
Abundant life
There's more to this life than just getting by. Jesus came to give us life that's full: rich with purpose, love and hope.
“I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
John 10:10
You are
Grace that saves. Grace that transforms.
This is our DNA. Everything we do at Renovation, from Sundays to serving to how we love our city, flows from it.
Who we are
If our mission is our destination, and our vision is the path to take us there, our values are the guardrails that help keep us on the right path.
Live by Faith.
Known by Love.
Be a Voice of Hope.
This is who we want to be. 1 Thessalonians 1:2–6
