THE DWELLING CIRCLE

Transparent Authenticity: We believe that true spiritual growth comes from radical honesty with one’s self and the Lord. We DO NOT “play church” but strive to be open about our struggles and triumphs. In the spirit of David's repentance, we embrace vulnerability, knowing that true transformation begins with a sincere heart laid bare before God and one another. Psalm 51:6 - "Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart."

 Intentional Fellowship: We follow the early church's example by gathering intentionally, not merely as a social habit, but to uplift, support, and encourage each other in our journey of being conformed into the image of Christ. We strive to create spaces where people can be intimately known and loved in the way the Lord intended.  Hebrews 10:24-25 - "And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near."

Biblical Truth: Anchored in the timeless wisdom of God's Word, we seek to faithfully study and apply Scripture, believing it to be the ultimate authority that guides us in all aspects of life. We hunger to grow in sound doctrine so that we may be a blessing to all those we encounter in our daily lives and in the world. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 - "All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work."

 Community & Village: Inspired by the early church community, we strive to be a supportive village where every member contributes, shares, and cares for one another, fostering deep relationships and unity in Christ. We hope to build a people who can and will sacrificially stand in the gap for their fellow believers who are in need. Acts 2:42-47 - "And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers."

Commitment to Righteousness: Committed to God's standard of righteousness, we pursue justice, kindness, and humility, aligning our lives with His will and purpose. We seek to reflect Christ's love in our actions and decisions and fight to be a people who repent of our sin, turning from our former ways, so we may operate with a transformed heart give to us by God. Proverbs 21:21 – “One who pursues righteousness and loyalty Finds life, righteousness, and honor.”
