In 2016, Philip, Jamila, their 9-month-old son, and 17 others gathered in a small dance studio in Union City, California. There, we prayed and asked God how we might partner with Him to see His kingdom come and His will be done in the Bay Area as it is in Heaven.
It was in that space we began to embrace the gospel—not just as an entry point into a relationship with God, but as His power to transform and inspire every rhythm of our lives.
Now rooted in Hayward, we’re more committed than ever to seeing the gospel transform lives, restore families, reach friends, reinvigorate our work, and renew our neighborhoods and cities.
We believe that the gospel is not just a good story.
It’s everything.
It shapes how we work, love, and live–every single day. This is why we prioritize the gospel shaping these seven core rhythms in our lives.
We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ and in His virgin birth. Fully God and fully man, He lived a sinless life, performed miracles, died a substitutionary and atoning death through His shed blood, rose bodily from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and will personally return in power and glory.
We believe in the value and dignity of all people—created in God’s image to live in love and holiness, designed for a rich and intimate relationship with Him, yet alienated from God and one another because of sin and guilt, and justly subject to God’s wrath.
We believe salvation is the gift of God—an act of grace, received by all who repent and place their faith in Jesus Christ alone.
We believe the church is not just a place, but a people—united by faith in Christ and sent into the world to proclaim and demonstrate the good news of the kingdom of God.
Kids
Our desire is to partner with parents to inspire our children to follow Jesus. More than childcare, our team seeks to provide a fun & safe space for toddlers – 5th graders to play, praise, & learn about the wonderful story of the gospel.
