Vision and Values



DBC is a Christ centered community which...

Listens – We believe that God has created each of us unique. Therefore your story is important. We will listen to your story and offer you a welcome regardless of your background or circumstances.

Learns – We believe that God always has more to teach us.  We are a community committed to learning from one another and from the Bible, so that our character may be continually transformed in truly life-giving ways.

Loves - We believe that to follow Christ means sacrificially reaching out to others and offering them hope and purpose through words and actions.

Lives - We believe that to follow Christ is to truly make sense of life.   We are committed to continually seeking and celebrating the God who journeys with us, and came to bring us life....life in all its fullness.
