We start with
Jesus always.
At Wake, everything we do starts with the gospel, the good news of who Jesus is and what he has done for us at the cross, and the truth that following him changes us in real and lasting ways. We trust Jesus being the center of our lives, because ultimately, he holds it all together.
Colossians 1:15-19
We remain
devoted to family.
The kind of life Jesus offers isn’t something we were meant to experience alone. It’s meant to be lived out in the family that we are now adopted into through Christ. As we walk through life together—through the good, the bad, the struggles, and the celebrations—we discover a richness to life that only comes through gospel relationships that challenge us and help us grow into fully devoted disciples.
Acts 2:42-47; Acts 4:32-34
We move to
love our neighbors
Following the ways of Jesus means we are serious about disciples making disciples. We believe we have been placed to make an impact where we live, work, learn and play. We show the love of Jesus to the community around us by helping the needy, giving a hand to those who are struggling, and taking care of one another. But we also proclaim the story of Jesus. We want to clearly show the impact of the gospel in our lives, and boldly share its message to others.
We never
stop sending

We raise
world changers
We care deeply about our children and students. As we equip parents to be the primary disciple-maker in the home, we believe we can make an impact in the lives of the next generation. The apostle Paul showed us the power in equipping young Timothy as he entrusted the gospel to him. We will passionately light the path of discipleship for our children so they might be poised to change their world with the truth of the Gospel.
