WAY CHURCH
ABOUT US
At Way Church, everyone is truly welcome. Our heart is to create an atmosphere where every person feels expected, accepted, and loved. We believe in the power of community and fellowship, knowing that as we draw closer to one another, we also draw closer to God.
The Bible reminds us that “iron sharpens iron,” and we live this truth by growing stronger together. Our relationships are built on mutual encouragement, grace, and a shared journey of faith.
We deeply value God’s Word and the guidance of the Holy Spirit in all that we do. With open arms, we extend grace to the lost and broken, leading them to the hope, joy, and restoration found in Jesus Christ. At Way Church, there’s a place for everyone, and we can’t wait to grow alongside you as we pursue God’s purpose together
WHO WE ARE
OUR MISSION
Jesus had a simple mission statement 2,000 years ago: “For the son of man came to seek and to save the lost.” Luke 19:10
If this was Jesus’ mission, then this is our mission. We will not just wait for people to come to us, we will go to our community, our neighborhoods and our city to reach more people with the message of Jesus Christ.
Our mission is simple: To audaciously go into more places and reach more people—
Leading people to experience hope and a growing
relationship with Jesus.
OUR VISION
Although our approach is modern, what we believe is tried and true. Just as Jesus taught in a way that the common person could hear and understand Him gladly, and Paul became “all things to all people”, we are doing an old thing in a new way.
You won't find anything weird or unusual in our theology. We are spirit filled and led protestants in our beliefs, and modern in our practices and expressions.
OUR VALUES
There’s no place like home. This house is built the way it is for a purpose, and it’s important for you to understand how it operates. We don’t go to church. We ARE the church. We are all part of the Way!
We value connection as part of our journey home and there are three key ways to connect at Way Church:

What we believe
Basic Theology
About the Bible— We believe that the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the inspired Word of God and that men were moved by the Spirit of God to write the very words of Scripture. Therefore, we believe the Bible is without error.
About God— We believe in one personal God who exists eternally in three distinct persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit; equal in power, authority and glory.
About Jesus— We believe Jesus Christ to be the virgin-born Son of God who lived in flesh, died for the sins of the world, was buried, rose again bodily, and ascended to the Father in heaven.
About mankind— We believe that all people were created in the image of God to have fellowship with Him but became separated in that relationship through sinful disobedience. As a result, people are incapable of regaining a right relationship with God through their own efforts.
About the church— We believe in the universal church, the body of Christ, of which Jesus Christ is the head. The members of the church are those who have trusted by faith the finished work of Christ. The purpose of the church is to glorify God by loving Him, obeying Him and bringing the gospel to the world. The church continues to follow the mission of Jesus which is to seek and save the lost.
