GO CHURCH WANTS TO MAKE A LASTING DIFFERENCE IN YOUR LIFE, IN OUR COMMUNITY, AND IN THE WORLD.
Our mission is to live local, go global, and live like Jesus. That's how we're able to make a difference. Our mission is more than just words, it's a way to live and a call to action. Live local - living out our faith locally with our friends, family, and co-workers to see lives changed. Go global - sending our faith, ourselves, and our finances all over the world to see lives changed. Live like Jesus - being fully devoted followers of Jesus to see our lives, and the lives of those around us, changed.
Go Church isn't a building - it's the people. No matter how you choose to get involved, we know you'll find friendly people who are excited to get to know you!
OUR STORY
We launched our first worship experience on Sunday January 24, 2016. We are 7 years in, and we are grateful that our story is made up of all the many stories from people who call Go Church home. God has done amazing things in and through Go Church and we believe the best is yet to come. Around here it's all about God and all about the people.
YOUR LIFE
Wherever you are in life, you matter and you have a purpose. We want to help you become the person God has created you to be! Your journey has a next step and we'd love to help you find it. It could start with serving on our Go Team! You don't have to take the next step alone. With a strong community of friends, you can laugh, cry, grow, and serve with people who genuinely care about you and your family.
YOUR FAMILY
Strong families start with solid foundations. That's why we partner with parents to help raise the next generation to become followers of Christ. We provide a space where your kids and teens can grow in relationships with each other and with God. We have an opportunity to create the church we want for our kids, and their kids, to grow up in!

OUR BELIEFS
GOD
We believe God is the Creator and Ruler of the Universe. When it comes to our Creator, the Bible is the only trustworthy source for understanding Him. Scripture teaches that God created everything we can see -- and even everything we can't see -- out of nothing. Although it might be difficult for the human mind to comprehend, the Bible teaches that He is one yet has existed since the beginning of time as three distinct and equal persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Genesis 1:1; 26,27; 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14)
JESUS
Jesus Christ is God's Son and an equal of the Father, existing from the beginning of time. In the first century A.D. Jesus lived His earthly life, being both completely God and completely human, simultaneously. And after living a perfect, sinless life, Jesus offered Himself as the perfect sacrifice for every human, ever. After three days in the grave, He defeated sin and death by rising from the grave. He then ascended to Heaven and will return to earth one day to reign as King. (Matthew 1:22-23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30; Hebrews 4:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4; Romans 1:3-4; Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14; Titus 2:13)
HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit is a full and equal part of the Trinity. He works in the world to make all people understand their need for Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit lives inside every follower of Jesus from the moment they decide to follow Him. The Spirit is our power source for life, ministry and spiritual growth. To experience that power, we must continually surrender to the Holy Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13; 14:16-17; Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 2:12; 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; 5:1; Galatians 5:25)
MAN
Man is the centerpiece of God's creation, being the sole creation God made in His own spiritual image, with the moral ability to choose right from wrong. Every person, although endowed with the image of God, inherited a disobedient heart from Adam, the very first man. This attitude of disobedience (called sin in the Bible), unless rectified through Christ, forever keeps man from forming a relationship with his Creator. This attitude also keeps us from being the kind of person God created us to be. (Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; 59:1-2; Romans 3:23)
SALVATION
Salvation is a gift from God. Our disobedient nature has eternally separated us from our Creator. No matter how hard we try, we can never earn our way back into God's presence. Our only hope is to trust Jesus as God's provision for our disobedience. Whenever you make that decision, you step into the eternal and abundant life Jesus promises for all believers. (Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; 59:1-2; Romans 3:23)
ETERNITY
What you decide about Jesus Christ in this life will determine where you will spend eternity. God made you to exist forever. Heaven is a perfect place, and since none of us are perfect, we are all headed for an eternity of separation from God. That's why God sent Jesus: to pay the price for our sins so that we can spend eternity with Him. If you accept this gift and ask Him to be the Lord and Savior of your life, you'll spend it eternally connected with Him in Heaven. (John 3:16; Romans 6:23; Revelation 20:15; 21:27; Matthew 25:41; Isaiah 2:4; Jude 14; 1 Thessalonians 4:14-18)
THE BIBLE
The Holy Spirit inspired human authors to write the books of the Bible. Every word of scripture is chosen by God himself. The Bible is God's love letter to all of humanity and is the final authority in every issue it communicates. It is complete truth, and we can trust it for all matters in this life and eternity. (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 1:13; Psalm 119:105, 160; 12:16; Proverbs 30:5; Hebrews 1:1-2; John 5:39)
