Access’ Mission
We are a church seeking to live life with God in soul, community, and mission.
Soul
God invites us to experience a new life. We are not called to fix ourselves or do enough good to earn his favor. Rather, Jesus has made a way for us to be renewed by his death and resurrection. As we place our faith in Jesus, we are transformed inside and out.
Community
God has created a new community, the church, and we journey together. Even though we are all imperfect, together we can offer one another love, grace, truth and challenge. Together we are learning to live the way that Jesus taught and become a preview of God’s coming kingdom.
Mission
The world is not the way it should be. It has been ruined by human sin. But God invites us to join in his redemptive work bringing healing and restoration to our world.
