Because We Believe...
...that all of life has its source in God, we commit to regular and measured giving of our time and resources to most effectively join God's work of Ransom. This is why we hold loosely to all that was ultimately given to us by God in the first place, so we can easily give it away to those in our world who are in need.
...that the church is God's active presence in the world, we commit to partner with Him where we see He is at work. This is why we regularly serve others through Origins of Love Restoration Projects.
...that humankind was not created to live in isolation, we desire to intentionally connect with others. This is why we offer small community groups (called Threads) for friendship, support, growth, and fun.
...that we are all created by God and in His image, we understand the inherent value of all of creation and commit to join God in His earthly establishment of a beautifully diverse, multicultural Kingdom. This is why we value all people as a part of Origins.
...that the history of faith is divinely woven into the story of humanity, we look to ancient faith as a profound influence on our daily understanding of God. This is why our gatherings are a mix of modern and ancient faith practices.
...that God sent us help and comfort, in the form of the Holy Spirit, we look to Him for guidance and discernment on how to best navigate the often difficult collision of faith and culture. This is why we look to the Bible as our source of truth.
...that everyone worships something, we commit to focusing our worship on the one true God. This is why we gather for regular times of teaching, worship, and prayer.
...that Jesus is the living Son of God and that He alone offers hope for the restoration of creation, we commit to further our relationship with Him through increased understanding and ever deepening levels of obedience. This is why we do everything.
