Storyline is committed to removing the religious packaging often put on God in order to expose and share His story in all its majesty, mystery, and wonder. We desire for people to experience, through speech and action, the message of Jesus Christ for what it really is - a message of faith, hope, truth, amazing grace, and relentless love. Ultimately, we long to journey with each other to discover and make the way of Jesus a way of life.

Imitating Jesus: Making Disciples

Remembering and devoting ourselves to God’s goodness (Loving God) and joining Him in his mission (Loving Others).
(Luke 22:19-20, John 15:7-17, John 13:12-14, John 14:12, Matthew 28:18-20, Philippians 2:1-5)

1) BELONG

Making the Gospel message of Jesus Christ known starts with you. Making disciples begins with recognizing people in your sphere of influence, choosing to build relationships (establish belonging) with those people, and deciding to unconditionally love and unselfishly serve those people.

“Go and be.”
(John 13:14-15, Matt 25:35-40, Luke 10:27-28, Acts 1:8, Luke 10:3-9, 1 John 3:18, Gal 5:13;6:10)

2) BELIEVE

Making disciples involves a conscious decision to invite people to join you on a journey of exploration and discovery toward faith and belief in Jesus Christ as the way, the truth, and the life. This includes actively participating with others to create and utilize opportunities that will serve as steps (or tools) along the way.

“Come and see.”
(Matthew 22:1-4, 9-10; Luke 14:17,21,23; John 6:35-40; Revelation 19:9)

3) BECOME

Making disciples involves a commitment to make the way of Jesus a way of life through worship, studying Scripture and putting it into action, and also through active service in God’s church and His work in the world.
(Acts 2:42-47; Colossians 3:12-17; James 1:22-25; 1 Corinthians 12:12-14; Ephesians 4:1-5;11-13; 1 John 5:3)

Our mission demands a commitment to:

1) Being a community who works together to create and develop environments where culture is creatively leveraged to present the Gospel in clear and compelling ways.
2) Identifying, supporting, and serving initiatives that help God’s people help others in need locally, regionally, and globally.
3) Exemplifying generosity with financial resources and sacrificing whatever it takes to remain obedient to the mission.
4) Full participation in creating, implementing, and utilizing the environments (tools) deemed necessary to accomplish the mission. This involves people recognizing their unique gifts and abilities and using them to serve in the church.
