Our Vision

To see the flourishing of God’s kingdom on display in every life and every sphere of life, in DC and beyond.

Our Mission

Love God. Love others. Make disciples.

Our Core Practices

To be followers of Jesus is to be on the journey of growth and transformation in learning to live as Jesus would, as individuals and as a community. Thus, we seek to root ourselves and our lives in:

• Worship, our lived response, collectively and individually, to God's great love displayed in the work of Christ and our shared life in the Spirit.

• Community, participating with others in cultivating a fellowship that offers welcome to all, functions as the body of Christ in the world, and points to the reality of God’s kingdom among us.

• Mission, proclaiming—with our words and our actions—the good news of life in Christ wherever we go and wherever we stay.

Our KAIROS Values

These pillars describe both who we are and who we long to be. We seek to embody and emulate the kingdom of God and the example of Jesus through our values:

• K – Kingdom-Rooted. We center our faith, discipleship, and mission on the values of God’s kingdom, trusting that Jesus’ call to radical love defines both God’s reign and God’s beloved community. The Gospel is not just about personal salvation but the renewal of all things—spiritually, relationally, and systemically. Jesus proclaimed that the kingdom is good news for the poor, freedom for the oppressed, and justice for the marginalized (Luke 4:18-19), and we commit ourselves to living as kingdom people.

• A – All Are Welcomed. Jesus welcomes all into his way of love, life, and liberation. This welcome is not passive; it is an active invitation to belong, be transformed, and participate in God’s kingdom. In an age of exclusion, we seek to practice a radical hospitality, pursuing gender equality, racial justice, queer inclusion, and all forms of justice that reflect the wide welcome of God’s kingdom.

• I – Interdependence. Because all people are made in God’s image, our flourishing is bound together. We reject individualism in favor of relationships of justice, mutuality, and solidarity across all lines of difference and division. Following Jesus means recognizing that we belong to one another and that our healing, well-being, and discipleship happen in community and in place.

• R – Righteousness & Justice. Faithfulness to God is both personal and communal—it is a way of living that seeks integrity, holiness, and flourishing in all aspects of life. The righteousness and justice of God is about right relationships—with God, with one another, and with the world; this includes personal holiness and integrity as well as relational integrity and social justice.

• O – Ongoing Transformation. Discipleship is a lifelong journey of grace, growth, curiosity, and renewal. We are always being formed by the Spirit, shaped by community, and called to deeper faithfulness.

• S – Spirit-Led. The Spirit empowers, guides, and sustains us in the work of justice, renewal, and faithful discipleship. We recognize that transformation is not by human effort alone—it is a work of God’s presence and power moving within and among us, so we commit to walking in step with the Spirit, practicing the gifts of the Spirit, and bearing the fruit of the Spirit.
