As we build relationships with people we want to introduce them to community. We want people to experience church as a network of relationships with people who know one another, love one another, and speak the good news of Jesus to one another, rather than simply a weekly meeting they attend or a place they enter. We gather together because of the gospel. We scatter through missional communities because of the gospel. We live all of life as a family of missionary servants. 

While we believe gathering weekly (on Sunday) for corporate worship is essential to our discipleship, we recognize that this alone is not sufficient. We believe that our homes play a vital role in obeying the command of Jesus to make disciples who make disciples. In order for this mission to be realized, we must recognize and create environments where life on life, life in community, and life on mission can occur. Inviting others into our homes allows visibility and accessibility. We believe that recognizing our homes as the primary environment for disciple-making provides a model of church that is flexible and reproducible in every context.  

We believe God has adopted us through the life, death, and resurrection of His Son, Jesus Christ. In light of this, we are committed to living together as family both in gathered and scattered worship and all aspects of our daily lives. We believe that scriptural commands to love and care for one another are vital, so we make signifiant decisions prayerfully together and we desire full resolution and reconciliation for any family conflicts. Jesus gives us the power to pursue unity, peace, encouragement, love, forgiveness and acceptance with one another. We desire for the world to see and know Jesus through the way that we love one another as family.

We are committed to welcoming broken people and making church accessible to not-yet believers. We want to offer a sense of belonging and be communities of grace in which people can be open and vulnerable. We will not let our welcome be dependent on adherence to any single set of cultural norms. We want to allow people the time needed to bring their lives under the authroity of Jesus. PThe is no one too far that God's grace cannot rescue. 

We are committed to working for neighborhood and city renewal – redressing injustice, pursuing reconciliation, and welcoming the marginalized. We celebrate the diversity of cultures in our local context while recognizing the need for gospel renewal. We encourage each other to glorify God and serve others through the workplace, business, community projects, government, and artistic endeavors. We will not make a division between spiritual and non-spiritual activities. 

Recognizing that God is the primary agent and orchestrator of mission, we view prayer as a missionary activity. We will offer prayer to not-yet believers, witnessing to a living and personal relationship with our sovereign Father. We want prayer to be both a regular community discipline and an impromptu response to needs and opportunities. We will not assume we are in control of mission, nor rob God of his glory by boasting of our achievements. We recognize that apart from Jesus we can do nothing.

We believe the mission of God moves forward in and through local churches. We will collaborate in a wider, like-minded church planting movement for the purpose of establishing and strengthening new churches. We will not seek to simply develop into one single, large congregation, nor will we become insular as a body of believers. Resonate’s desire is to plant churches of missional communities toward our vision of gospel saturation. 

We are committed to every believer seeing themselves as a Spirit-Filled missionary and exercising gospel ministry in every part of their life. We shape activities around gospel opportunities that we may have with not-yet believers, and the gifts and passions of church members. We believe leadership is important. We see our leaders as facilitators of gospel ministry rather than those who exercise control. We will not make distinctions between full-time and non-full-time ministers.
