Our Mission

Hope and Life for all of His children

The Water’s Edge Network prioritizes the work that God is doing in and through our campus churches.

Our focus

We focus on a God who desires Hope and Life

We focus upward, deepening our relationship with Him.

We focus inward, developing relationships with each other where care, challenge, and celebration are common.

We also focus outward, pursuing opportunities to holistically care for the needs of our world.

We live out this mission by being

With God. In Community. On Mission.

With God

We are churches committed to developing personal and corporate habits for a dynamic relationship with God. We emphasize prayer and the study of the Scriptures as critical habits that help us discern the plans and purposes of God for our lives.

In Community

We are churches eagerly desiring to cultivate relationships where care, challenge and celebration occur. We emphasize living life as one faith family in the all-together (corporate worship) and the small together (small groups).

On Mission

We are churches that pursue opportunities to holistically care for the needs of our world. As the universal Church, we are called to actively participate in the mission of God.

“God measures His church by how many we send, not by how many we seat.”

AMPED

Five Global Giants

As Kingdom-driven churches we exist to usher in the rule and reign of God on earth as it is in heaven. Our Gospel mission is a great commission because God’s rule pushes back evil. We see five primary ways this evil is expressed. We call these five expressions the Five Global Giants. A uniting feature of our network strategy is the commitment to address the Five Global Giants through a philosophy we have named AMPED.

  1. Accelerate. Reproducing churches that promote reconciliation with God and each other, to address the giant of spiritual emptiness.
  2. Mobilize. The church to see the kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven, to address the giant of self-serving leadership.
  3. Provide. Healing for the sick, to address the giant of disease.
  4. Educate. The next generation, to address the giant of multi-faceted illiteracy.
  5. Defend. The poor and vulnerable, to address the giant of poverty and injustice.
