Our mission is to invite people into a transformative relationship with Jesus

Our values.

  • Hospitality

    We provide a safe space for spiritual wanderers to explore a life of following Jesus. We live in a spiritual climate that is filled folks who have dechurched, are unchurched, or have been hurt by the church, and we prioritize room in our community for people to ask, learn, and grow in their spiritual journey at a non-coercive pace.

  • Sincerity

    Religious and non-religious spaces alike today often lack a feeling of sincerity and authenticity. In this sort of production oriented age of posture and show, we want to be a space of sincerity, where people can enter in to community as their authentic selves to pray, play, learn, and grow together. All things we do as a church community attempt to embody sincerity.

  • Discipleship

    Christians are not only saved "from" something; they are also saved "for" something. The vision for the Christian is that they would be transformed by the Spirit of God to become more and more like Jesus. Thus we prioritize the holistic nature of following Jesus, encouraging holistic discipleship in work and play, church and community.

  • Mission

    The church only ever exists as a vehicle of God's mission in the world. Our fourth value is the be the sort of church community that makes a tangible difference in our neighborhood, seeking flourishing in our community.

Vision: Where we’re going

Our vision is that Midtown Presbyterian Church becomes a transformed community that transforms the city through:

  • Good faith partnerships and networks with our neighbors to bring flourishing to our immediate community

  • Engaging spiritual wanderers and providing them space to explore following Jesus

  • Training and developing leaders who can help lead goals #1 and #2, and who plant new churches across Arizona with the same overarching goals

  • Helping plant two more churches by 2027, in partnership with Hope Presbytery
