Our Vision“The Gospel on Every Street”
We envision neighborhoods transformed by the presence of Jesus—one home, one table, one street at a time.
“The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood.”
— John 1:14 (MSG)
Jesus didn’t stay distant, abstract, or theoretical. God didn’t shout instructions from heaven—He showed up in a body. He took on real skin, real limitations, real life. And He didn’t arrive as a guest who passed through; He moved in. He chose proximity over power, presence over distance, relationship over spectacle.
To say Jesus “moved into the neighborhood” means He entered ordinary life—homes, streets, meals, friendships, suffering, joy. God came close. He lived where people lived.
That’s the heart of Neighbors Church.
Our vision—The Gospel on Every Street—flows directly from this truth. If Jesus moved into the neighborhood, then following Him means we do the same. We believe the gospel isn’t meant to stay inside church buildings or Sunday services, but to take root in everyday places—around tables, on sidewalks, in schools, workplaces, and living rooms. We’re learning to live the way of Jesus with real presence, so the good news of God’s love can be seen and felt on every street.
Our ValuesWe start by being before doing—learning to linger with Jesus before we try to love our neighbors well. In the middle of school drop-offs, traffic lights, lunch breaks, and packed calendars, we intentionally slow down to make room for His presence. We practice stillness in living rooms, pray while walking our streets, and invite the Spirit to dwell not just in our gatherings, but in the everyday moments of our lives. In a world that never stops moving, presence is our protest—and intimacy with Jesus is where everything begins.
John 15:40
The Abiding Presence of God
We’re not after polished performances or surface-level change—we long for real transformation, the kind that starts deep within. That’s why we bring our full selves to the table—our wounds, doubts, hopes, and questions—trusting that God meets us in our honesty. In living rooms, around fire pits, and across kitchen tables, we open our lives to one another, to scripture, and to the Spirit. Formation happens not in isolation, but in community, as we slowly become more like Jesus—together.
Romans 12:2
The Vulnerable Formation of People
We are sent as Jesus was sent—low, local, and full of love. Mission isn’t a stage or a spotlight; it’s a posture we carry into everyday life. It’s rooted in presence, formed through relationships, and ready to respond wherever we are. Whether it’s in classrooms, coffee shops, backyards, or break rooms, we bring the good news of Jesus into every place and space we occupy—because the Gospel goes wherever we go.
John 20:21
