We believe God is a relational God; with himself (Father, Son & Holy Spirit) & with humanity. Jesus lived out transparency in his family & spiritual communities. He lived a life free of secrets, shame, and baggage while still pressing into healthy relationships and calling each person to a deeper life of freedom through confession and repentance.
We know life is messy, before and after choosing to follow Jesus, so we choose to extend the grace we’ve been given. Our sin, secrets, and shame make us pull back and believe the lie “our garbage is too dark and unforgivable.” The Holy Spirit calls us into community to remind us we are loved, forgiven, and seen.
This is why we prioritize life lived in healthy community. Whether in small groups, CByouth, CBkids, or smaller discipleship relationships, we can openly admit our brokenness without fear of judgment or minimizing the impact these sins have had on our life.
Our value of being “Relationally Transparent” is rooted in Proverbs 27:17, Romans 8, & Hebrews 10.
