about waves of faith

At Waves of Faith, our vision is “Ordinary people living extraordinary lives by following Jesus.” We wholeheartedly believe that a life guided by faith in Christ changes everything. It’s not about being perfect or having all the answers—it’s about discovering the incredible power and purpose that come when we open our hearts to God’s love. No matter where you are in your journey, we invite you to join us as we step out in faith, support each other, and grow together.

  • Who We Are: We’re a community of everyday people—each with our own stories and backgrounds—united by a shared hope in Jesus.
  • Why We Do It: Because through faith, God can transform the “ordinary” into something truly extraordinary.
  • Key Verse: Acts 4:13, showing that even “unschooled, ordinary men” had a world-changing impact when they walked with Jesus.


Our mission is to LOVE God, LOVE people, LIVE with purpose, and LEAD others into a life-giving relationship with Jesus. In practical terms, that means focusing on what truly matters: caring for each other, fostering genuine faith, and seeing real transformation happen in our families, neighborhoods, and beyond. We believe the everyday moments—like sharing a meal, praying together, or helping someone in need—can become powerful opportunities to reflect God’s love.

  • Love God: Center our lives on Him through prayer, worship, and learning from the Bible.
  • Love People: Extend kindness, respect, and empathy to everyone, recognizing each person’s unique worth.
  • Live with Purpose: Embrace our God-given gifts to make a positive difference in the world around us.
  • Lead Others: Guide and encourage each other toward deeper faith, so we can all experience abundant life in Christ.

(Matthew 22:37, Matthew 28:16–20)


We have five guiding values that keep us grounded and unified in all that we do. They shape our community, inspire our actions, and remind us of why we’re here.

  1. Jesus Is Our Message
    • We look to the life, teachings, and love of Jesus as our ultimate example and guiding truth.
    • (Acts 4:12, Colossians 1:15–20)

  1. Relationships Are Our Heart
    • We believe meaningful connections—rooted in love, trust, and respect—enrich every part of life.
    • (1 John 4:19)

  1. Discipleship Is Our Mission
    • We all learn and grow together, supporting each other in following Jesus step by step.
    • (Matthew 28:16–20)

  1. Growth Is Our Mindset
    • We’re open to transformation, asking God to renew our minds and shape our actions every day.
    • (Romans 12:2)

  1. Generosity Is Our Privilege
    • We joyfully share our time, resources, and compassion—trusting that God multiplies what we give.
    • (Proverbs 11:24, 2 Corinthians 9:6–8)

By living out these values, we aim to cultivate a welcoming, purposeful environment where ordinary people truly can live extraordinary lives by following Jesus.
