After all, the Gospel is good news!! Because of this, we want our life together to be marked by joy, fun, celebration, wonder, delight, and laughter.

The way we do life together will be marked by simplicity. Our rhythms will be reproducible, relaxed, and at ease. It ought to feel “lived in,” with plenty room for people in all different places in their spiritual journey.

God’s generosity towards us is extravagant — we call it grace. In response, we want our life together to be marked by open-handedness: generous and others-focused. We want to be the sort of church that freely gives our best away, that makes room for developing leaders (and is committed to growing gifts and abilities from within), and is persistently collaborative.

We’re committed to doing life together at Godspeed, attentive to God and others, prioritizing relationships and people over programs.

We invite anyone and everyone into community and towards Jesus. Hospitality is key, and there is ALWAYS room for more.

We live and respond out of faith rather than fear, out of abundance rather than scarcity. We’re growing to be a people unafraid to take risks and unafraid to try new things.

We’ll get it wrong and have to change directions. We’ll hurt each other and we’ll screw up. But we know God is God and we’re not, and so we live together with humility. We repent regularly. We freely ask for (and give) forgiveness. We value vulnerability as a strength and not a liability. We collaborate, because we know our way likely isn’t the best way, and that a life together marked by humble graciousness is beautiful.
