We bring glory to the real God by bringing Him our real selves, problems and all, and allowing Him to transform us — when we gather to worship, and every day of our lives.

People matter to God, so people matter to us. We might be different people, but Jesus makes us one. Through our relationships with each other, we live out the love of Jesus.This is done best in the context of groups.

We exist to help the unchurched and dechurched become followers of Jesus. We aim to do that by helping to start new churches, multiplying groups, and cultivating intentional relationships with those who don’t know Jesus.

We generously spend our time and resources to make Lakewood Ranch a better place, and to spread the hope of Jesus all around the world.
