A church for the city.
About Us
Our vision at Pine Hills Auburn is to be a church FOR the city, LOVING people where they are with the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ. What we mean by that is this: we want to be a local church within our community that regularly gives to those around us. We want to be present, living life with others around us. We want to be visibly marked by serving, caring for those around us, meeting genuine needs, and just living life in community with those around us. We want to love people where they are in their life journey, regardless of where that starting point may be. We want to best display the Gospel in ways that Jesus did.
Our mission at Pine Hills Auburn is to BRING people to Jesus, BUILD people to live like Jesus, and to SEND people out to multiply like Jesus. The Bible speaks to the Gospel as bringing hope and healing today, not just in eternity, and so we want everyone to know who Jesus is! We want to take a joyfully serious approach to learning how to grow in Christ (discipleship) and have identified lots of ways in which this can happen. Finally, we want to take seriously the call of Jesus in Matthew 28:18-20 to go and make disciples. We want to develop, empower, and equip leaders to do what God has called them to do, whatever that may look like- including church planting.
If you have further questions about what this looks like, please feel free to reach out to us!
