Our Vision: This network is a community of followers of Jesus who are passionate about seeing people know God and experience life as He intended. As we are guided by the Scriptures we will inspire one another to embrace innovation and creativity as a means to fulfill this mission.
Our Passions: Jesus, Humanity, and Innovation
Jesus: Jesus and the inspired Scriptures are our guide for everything we do.
Humanity: God ‘s extreme love for people infuses this mission with urgency.
Innovation: Creativity will be normative for our mission.
We are friends, pioneers, misfits, leaders, artists and innovators who want to dream and work together rather than alone in participating in God’s mission in this world. We are from different backgrounds and use different methods in different cultural contexts, but share the same passion to love, serve, and take risks to see others connect and experience the transforming love of God in Jesus.
We share a commitment to the gospel of Jesus’ life, death, resurrection and the power of the Holy Spirit, to the Scriptures as God’s inspired Word, to the truths of the historical, orthodox creeds (e.g., The Nicene Creed, The Apostles’ Creed), to the missional vision of the Lausanne Covenant and as we serve on this mission to see others understand God’s dream for them as they follow Jesus.
The Core Churches
Mosaic, Newsong and Vintage Faith Church are three uniquely different churches that have the same heart and passion that define the mission of this new network. Two leaders from each church represent the core team, and serve to provide vision, structure and strategy about the bigger picture and overall mission of the network.
The Creative Team
The Creative Team is made up of influential leaders united by the values and mission of our network. These authors, artists, church leaders, and humanitarians will shape and guide the network, as well as provide resources, forums for conversation, and have oversight of specific network initiatives, serving to translate innovative ideas into practical action.
The Connecting Team
The Connecting Team is a diverse group of leaders who embody the values of the network. They help give input and ideas to help guide the steering of the network and will represent this network to others and be connecting the network to others and may participate in events representing this network.
Origins: Ancient Text. Present Context. Future Textures.
“For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God…” (Acts 5:38-39 NIV)
