About Us
Who we are and what we believe
Our Mission
Love God. Love Others. Make Disciples.
Our Vision
Make Church matter by growing disciples among disconnected Catholics in North Baltimore and influencing churches to do the same elsewhere.
Our Strategy
We aim to be a church that people who don’t like church, like! Our strategy is to creatively reach out to disconnected Catholics in our North Baltimore community with a fresh and relevant presentation of the life-changing message of the Gospel to help them take their next steps on the path of discipleship to make them fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
Our Focus
Our weekend experience is central to our strategy and the weekend message is central to the weekend experience. Music, message and ministers work together to create an irresistible environment of energy and excellence in which newcomers feel welcome and want to come back. We believe excellent weekend programs for kids and students where the messages parallel the adult message are equally important.
Our Purpose
Worship
We believe in Orthodox Christianity, as taught by the Roman Catholic Church. The Eucharistic celebration is the source and summit of our faith, which we seek to live and serve with the whole of our lives in vibrant and creative ways; in other words, we strive for a “dynamic Orthodoxy.” Excellence in our worship honors God.
Fellowship
We believe that our Baptism makes us one family in which we learn to love one another as Christ loved us. We strive to build a church culture through Small Groups where people are open and authentic, especially about their need to grow and change. Our community does life together.
Discipleship
We believe the Bible is the inspired, infallible Word of God. Our preaching and messages aim to break open the relevance of the Bible for our daily lives. Changing and growing into the likeness of Christ is not just greater knowledge of our faith, but doing what God’s Word says. Discipleship ultimately means life-change.
Evangelization
God is on the move, and we get to be a part of what He’s doing. Evangelization simply means sharing your faith with those who do not have faith or have become disconnected from Christ and his Church. Pope Saint John Paul II noted that our faith grows when it is shared. In giving our faith to others, we grow to know the Lord better. We share our faith in a number of ways but a good first step is the strategy of “invest and invite.” That means we invest in the relationships we have with people in our lives, and when the time comes, invite them to Church with us.
