Our name comes from the Latin, inspirare which means “to breathe into.” When you inspire someone you are breathing life into them. We exist to breathe life into our city - whether it’s through fun community events like the Easter Egg Drop, the Westfield Trunk or Treat & Hayride, or through our engaging weekend services (in Westfield and Tipton) and Squad Groups.

We can’t be who God has created us to be when we’re hiding behind a mask. Our lives are imperfect and messy, but we are pursuing and experiencing a transforming relationship with Jesus and each other. Choosing authenticity means cultivating the courage to be vulnerable, to allow ourselves to be fully known, faults and all.

We believe that God’s very nature is love. Following Christ’s example, we seek to unconditionally love the last, the lost and the least. We choose to love what God loves so everyone is welcome at the table no matter who they are or how excluded they’ve been. In a society that has become increasingly polarized, we want to be known more for what we’re for than what we’re against.

When we live generously we have the opportunity to be co-creators with God and join him in the restoration of all things. Therefore, we strive to leverage every resource at our disposal for something bigger than ourselves. Because our treasure follows our heart, we invest God’s resources into His kingdom to help the poor and hurting locally and around the world.

We invite questions understanding that the opposite of faith isn’t doubt, but certainty. We choose to embrace the wonder of an Infinite God instead of building a box to try to contain or understand him. We are created for wonder. Wonder invites potential. Wonder inspires. Wonder leads us to God. When hearts are awakened to wonder, it invites others to follow the same path.
