Our Values

Biblically Faithful

Many people think the Bible is an outdated book with a random mix of stories and morals. We see the Bible as one story, God's story. This story shows how our life connects to God. So we want to be biblically faithful in all that we do in all that we do in order that we might love God with all of our hearts and minds.

Gospel-Centered

The gospel is literally the good news that God entered the brokenness of this world in the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus, being fully God and fully man, lived a sinless life, died on the cross for our sins, was buried and rose from the grave, so that there is now no condemnation for those who believe. This good news opens our eyes to see the world the way God intended it to be. So the gospel does not issue a straight jacket for life, but frees us from religion into a gospel-centered community that finds freedom from chasing the empty promises of the world.

Christ-Exalting

Our world has plenty of good teachers. Jesus is different. Jesus claimed not simply to be a good teacher but God himself. To show the truth of who Jesus is, we live Christ-exalting lives. At Five Points we want to magnify the name of Jesus and boast only in what He has done.

Mission-Minded

The church is not a building. The church is a community of people that gather and disperse to proclaim the message that God is reconciling the world to himself in Christ. So we do not seek comfort and prosperity, but want to engage the culture and the world at large with a mission-minded focus.
