What We believe…

We seek to amplify the love of Jesus.

We believe that God is love, that Jesus is God’s love in person, and that he calls those who follow him to love as he loves—without limit or exclusion—so, empowered by his Spirit, we actively look for ways to live out the love and grace of Jesus in our personal lives, in our families, in our churches, in our communities, and in our world.

We seek to amplify the invitation of Jesus.

We believe all of humanity is uniquely created in God’s image, each one dearly loved and valued, and created with intention and purpose. We believe that the good news of Jesus and his invitation to live in the love, joy, peace, and freedom of his kingdom is for everyone, so we invite, affirm, and fully include all who wish to come, no matter their age, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic statues, mental or physical abilities, or religious beliefs.

We seek to amplify our faith and hope in Jesus.

We believe that Jesus is God with us—the Word made flesh—and because we believe that the entire biblical story ultimately points to him, we want Jesus to be the lens through which we read and interpret all of Scripture. We want to strengthen our faith in the truth he reveals about who our God is, and our value and worth in his eyes. We want to fortify our hope in his grace for all of humanity, and we want to follow him in his way of light and unconditional love as we honor Scripture and fully affirm and include those in the LGBTQ+ community.

We seek to amplify a culture of value and respect.

We believe that all are deserving of honor and respect, so we want our AMPLIFY gatherings to be a safe space where people feel welcomed no matter who they are, where questions, doubts, and differences of opinion or interpretation are heard and respected, and where people are encouraged to dialogue and share without fear of judgment or condemnation.

We seek to amplify a community of care and support.

We believe that the love and grace of Jesus compelled him to reach out with compassion, care, and comfort to those around him, especially those who were marginalized, hurting, or in need, and because we believe he calls his followers to do the same, we want our AMPLIFY gatherings to be a place of fellowship, care, and support for all.
