Who We Are
Our Motto
Loving God & Loving Others
We're a group of people who focus on loving God with our whole selves, and genuinely loving the people around us! Simple as it sounds, we believe it has the power to change people, relationships and our community. You might recognize it from Jesus' words: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these” (Mark 12:30-31).
Our Vision
What does it look like to be a church that loves God and loves people in Salem, Oregon? Whether it's through our sermons, our events, or our community partners, we want our church to be known as a:
Place of Inspiring Beauty
Training Facility for Life
Hospital for the Hurting
Vibrant Community Center
Values
You may have heard before "Every church is different." So when Court Street Leadership paused to reflect on what makes this church unique, we realized these values shape all that we do.
