Our Mission and Beliefs
Five Mile seeks to live by the core values of Christlikeness, Biblical Guidance, Integrity, Inclusive Love, and Community.
We believe these values flow from the Holy Spirit and infuse and transform each of us into God's likeness. As we step into this flow of Grace, you are invited to Step into the Flow of Grace with the Five Mile Church!
Christlikeness is central to the Five Mile mission. We walk daily with the Holy Spirit and live like Jesus so that the world sees Christ's love displayed in all we do and say.
Biblical Guidance: The Word of God preached, taught, and lived by God's people is necessary. The Word of God must be the foundation to live the mission of being the hands and feet of Jesus.
Integrity: We all fall short of our goals for integrity at times, but we strive to be transformed by God's Holy Spirit. We desire it, and He enables it.
Inclusive Love: No matter what your background, you will find a community that loves you. You will find opportunities to be included in worship, service, connections, and growth.
Community: We all need to belong. The Church is called to be a community of faith, a place where everyone can find a place of connection, love, service, and responsibility.
