The Shalom Center

"All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, sharing in meals (including the Lord's Supper), and prayer. A deep sense of awe overcame them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. All the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. They worshiped together at the temple each day, met in homes for the Lord's Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people. The Lord added to their fellowship each day those who were being saved."

To become a local house of prayer from which God's glory and transforming power will be released to every street and neighborhood where we live and work.

To become a place of healing where restoration and preservation of health are priorities. A place where our families, friends, communities, and the strangers we encounter can find rest and belonging.

To become a place of creativity where the artist is encouraged to release the song of Heaven, paint the heart of God, and dance freely before the Maker of all creation.

To become a hub for discipleship where the body of Christ is encouraged to activate the gifts within the community to expand the Kingdom of God in our neighborhoods and places of work.

Family is our identity as a community. Love and honor are what make families healthy. Unity and belonging are how we desire to live as God leads us, His family, in perfect love. As sons and daughters adopted into God's family, we are submitted to the will of our Father and are about His business. As a family, we wholeheartedly serve one another and the world around us. (Read Psalm 133:1-3)

Freedom to learn, grow, and explore through the process of discovery is a practice we value. We believe that exploration leads to lives of faith and adventure that will take us to places we've never been before. (Read Proverbs 25:2)

We believe that as we come together, we are called to be His house of prayer for all nations; we exist to establish a continuous altar of prayer in our city and beyond. We do this locally through the regular practice of intercessory prayer in our Tribe Churches. We do this regionally and globally by gathering with like-minded believers from other communities. (Read James 5:16)

We are unapologetically on a journey to make Christ-centered and Holy Spirit-empowered disciples of Jesus who embrace the calling on their lives through discipleship and mentoring. (Read Matthew 28:18-20)

The act of worship is a precious gift given by God to believers. It is a powerful tool that helps us align our hearts with the Lordship of Christ. Worship is not limited to the songs we sing; it encompasses every aspect of our lives. We were created to worship, and this is something that we do continuously. We choose to worship God alone. (Read Colossians 3:16-17)

The One New Man speaks of our identity and marriage as Jewish and Gentile people. Two people have become one people in Yeshua, Jesus. As a One New Man community, we celebrate and contend for the unfolding of God's plan to have a family consisting of all nations, tribes, and tongues. As a family and ministry, we join hands and hearts with the original host peoples of Turtle Island, the American and Canadian First Nations people, and our Jewish brothers and sisters. (Read Ephesians 2:11-22)
