This is who we are and what we’re about—our mission, our values, and the Scriptures that shape how we follow Jesus together.
Mission Statement
We follow Jesus together and invite others to follow Him.
At Alongsider Church, we believe following Jesus is not meant to be done alone. We walk alongside one another in faith—living as alongsiders who encourage, serve, and help each other grow in Christ while pointing our neighbors and communities to the hope found in Jesus.
Core Values
Our core values reflect God’s calling for Alongsider and shape how we live out our mission together. They express the priorities that guide our life together—how we worship, grow, love one another, and engage the world. These values are rooted in Scripture and guide our decisions, relationships, and mission. As a church, we want every person, every gathering, and every conversation to reflect these shared commitments.
