New to Quest?

We say YES.

Yes, to the person not yet connected.

We are outward-facing. Those not yet connected to Jesus and the church community are our priority. Those already connected join in the God-given mission of connecting those not yet connected.  Our church will never stop growing because of this posture.

Yes, to generational impact.

We invest in the spiritual development of every generation, with an intentional focus on leaning forward to impact the next generation and leave a legacy of faith for those who come after us. We are future thinking.

Yes, to the family.

We believe that church + family creates the greatest synergy to inspire and instill faith in the next generation. For that reason, we do all we can to strengthen marriages, support single-parent households, and encourage foster care and adoption.  

Yes, to diversity.

Because God’s creation displays uniqueness and diversity, we will welcome and reflect this in our church and its ministries. We especially seek to display diversity of age, gender, and ethnicity.

Yes, to discipleship.

We never stop growing. We prioritize next steps towards Jesus. Discipleship focuses on moving us from passive consumers to active producers with maximum Kingdom impact.  

Yes, to generosity.

Because people matter to God, they matter to us. This is demonstrated in our generosity as we invite people into Christian community, serve them through our ministries, and give financially to the mission and ministries of our church. Our church models generosity by serving and giving to local and global missions and ministries.

Yes, to Christ-like character in leadership.

Leaders are growing disciples who are here to produce more than consume. While we value competency, character matters most. Leaders will imitate Jesus in all they do, especially humility, and be held accountable to that standard.

Yes, to the Authority of Scripture.

The Bible contains all things necessary for salvation and Christian living. As such, it is the Authority for how we discover our identity in Christ and instructions for how to live out our faith in the world today. 

We are an independent church and a member of The Foundry Network, a group that stands in the faithful Methodist tradition and seeks to forge a network of like-minded pastors and churches who are aligned theologically and work together to reawaken the movement of Christ in our communities. This network is made up of accountable relationships that are simple and clear and that provide opportunities to learn, encourage, support and advance the Kingdom of God together.

What We Believe and Affirm

We believe that Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

We believe the Bible is the inspired Word of God.

We strive for ministry that is full of grace and full of truth.

Our priority is for the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ.

We are committed to reach people that no one else is reaching.

We are committed to relational discipleship.

We are engaged in being the practical hands and feet of Christ in our communities.

We affirm the sovereignty of God to gift all believers according to His will. It is our responsibility to equip those saints for their calling and giftedness in ministry.

We affirm that marriage and sexual intimacy are good gifts from God. In keeping with the teachings of Scripture historically and throughout the Church universal, we believe that marriage is the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union. We believe that God intends faithfulness in marriage and celibacy in singleness.

We affirm the faith delivered to the saints as articulated in:

• The Articles of Religion of The Methodist Church
• The Nicene and Apostles’ Creeds
