Our vision
We are a church of Song, Word and Table
We are creative, collaborative and Sacramental.
The 505 Service experiments with music, liturgy, and spiritual practices to communicate ancient themes to new ears and, for others, to re-introduce the story of Jesus, by the power of the Spirit, as we contemplate the mystery and revelation of God in Jesus Christ.
We believe we are incredibly loved by God, and the Word and Table remind us of who we are and whose we are and what we are free to do in response.
We believe that the Sacraments are “thin places,” where, by the power of the Spirit, we are called to experience the ultimate grace, in Word and Table, in Confession and Baptism into Christ’s death and new life, in Covenant with the Holy One of Israel.
Statement of Beliefs
We believe that our Creator calls us to creative worship that communicates the Ancient of Days to people here and now, engaging all of the senses and speaking into human experience.
We believe that our Redeemer searches for the one lost sheep, the brother who leaves and the brother who stays outside the party, the lost coin, such that we are to go to the frontiers of our faith and there encounter the Risen Christ in our neighbors and strangers at the margins of faith and society.
We believe that our Sustainer nourishes our souls with the Word, and sends us out to serve, such that service to the “least of these” flows out of encountering the Risen One in worship.
We believe that our Lord’s Church is wherever two or three are gathered by the Spirit in His Name, who in gratitude worship the Triune God, who in humility surrender to the sovereignty of God’s grace, who in the power of love, go out to the world and serve.
We believe in the unity of Christ’s Church and commit to imaginative collaboration in serving God’s people with costly love as Christ has served the church.
