Mindset

01

Keep the main thing the main thing

1 Corinthians 15:3-6; Mark 1:14-15

While our church name may be unique, the main thing that drives our mission isn’t.  We’re here because of the gospel. We’re here to talk about the gospel. We’re here to see the gospel do what only the gospel can do- save people and change lives. From the songs we sing to the sermons we preach, we aim to make (and keep) the gospel the main thing in everything we are and in everything we do.
02

Alone is not an option

Genesis 2:18; Ecclesiastes 4:9-12; 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

It’s not just a cute cliche or a catchy church tagline, we believe life together is essential to the lives we’re designed to live. So, isolation and uniformity won’t be celebrated here. Although it’s messy and inconvenient,
we prioritize our togetherness. Although it's often uncomfortable and at times painful, we embrace our
differences because when we're in Jesus, our differences make us better. After all, our aim isn’t easy and it’s
not to go somewhere fast. Our aim is to go further together than we could go by ourselves.
03

The future has a face

Matthew 18:10; Matthew 19:14

The next generation isn’t a tagalong or a sideshow, they're a priority. As Ed Catmull of PIXAR once said, “The easiest way to predict the future is to invent it.” That’s what we’re hoping to do. We’re inventing the future by investing into those to whom the future belongs. So, you won't catch us safeguarding the status quo or building altars to the present. We're moving forward by keeping one eye on the person in our rear view mirror. We're forming the future by way of the hope we hand down.
04

The world will be as good as we give

Acts 20:35; Matthew 5:9; Proverbs 11:24

Our world should be better because we’re in it. The way Jesus put it was that we are to be “peacemakers” or “promoters and producers of God’s highest good in the lives around us.” God’s highest good, however, hinges on our generosity. Generous with what? Everything. But, time, money and energy are a great place to start. Save the well-wishes and “thoughts and prayers” for a Hallmark card. We aim to be givers and servants around here.
05

Small faith insults God

Matthew 15:28; James 2:18; 1 Corinthians 4:10

The litmus test for our belief in God is how we act on His word. In other words, nothing illustrates how much we believe in God like how we live our lives. At MIX, we seek to magnify how wise, how mighty and how good God is by constantly moving beyond our own understanding and comfort zones in order to step into where Jesus is leading us. If our audacious faith means looking like fools, so be it. Better to look like a clown following Jesus
than a king in the absence of God.

Statement Of Faith

THE BIBLE

We believe the Bible (composed of Protestant Old and New Testaments) to be both true and authoritative. We make this claim because we believe God divinely inspired the original authors through the Holy Spirit to pen them. (See 2 Timothy 3:15-17 and 2 Peter 1:21) Whereas we expect God to be present with and in us, always revealing, we do not subscribe to notions that God contradicts what the Scriptures have historically penned for us in practice and belief. God never contradicts Himself. Therefore, Scripture serves not only as inspiration into the life of God, but also as a guardrail for us to know the will of God and test the veracity of all things.

GOD

We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in His virgin birth, in His sinless life, in His miracles, in His vicarious and atoning death through His shed blood, in His bodily resurrection, in His ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in His personal return in power and glory. (Genesis 1:1; John 14:6-9, 15-17 and John 16:7-15; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14; 1 John 4:9-10)

THE GOSPEL

People are created in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character (Genesis 2:26). Although every person has the potential for good, all of us are marred by an orientation of disobedience toward God called “sin.” Therefore, the Gospel is the good news that God himself, the Creator, has come to rescue us from sin, and renew all things, in and through the work of Jesus Christ on our behalf, to establish his Kingdom, through his people, in the power of the Holy Spirit. (Mark 1:14-15; 1 Corinthians 15:1-28)

SALVATION

Throughout the scriptures we read that salvation is experienced as a past, present and future reality. In reading God’s Word we understand that salvation is something that has happened, is happening and will happen to those who trust in Jesus. (See Eph. 2:8-9, 1 Cor. 1:18, Matt. 24:12-13) The past, present and future tense of salvation is one of the great mysteries of the gospel. Our salvation is assured the moment we enter into a genuine relationship with God through faith in Christ. Yet, despite this guarantee, we must go about allowing the Holy Spirit to make us in reality what we know by faith we are — daughters and sons of God. Even as our bodies slowly deteriorate over time, even to the point of death, God’s saving work is being completed within us.

MIX Church &
Culturally Sensitive Issues

CLICK ITEM TO LEARN MORE

+ A Note from The Pastor

At MIX Church, we're often asked about our stance on various cultural issues. While these answers are important, I believe the question itself can miss the point. "Stance" implies that we're here to take rigid positions, but MIX Church isn’t about standing still. We're a church that moves—toward Christ and toward others. Instead of static positions, we pursue gospel-centered perspectives that inspire action.

When churches become defined by what they stand for or against, they risk becoming stagnant, and stagnation isn’t an option for us. Too many people need us to move toward them with the good news that Jesus loves them, died for them, and wants to walk with them. A rigid stance often doesn’t change much, but a gospel-centered mission that moves with purpose can transform a church, a city, and the world. As you read about the following topics, my hope is that you will be inspired to not only align with our perspectives but to actively live out what you believe, because it’s not just our beliefs that change the world—it’s how we live them out.

- Pastor Jake Wirth

+ But First… What’s the Good News?

At the heart of Christianity is the gospel—the good news of freedom and transformation through Jesus Christ (Romans 1:16). It’s not just a set of rules or religious rituals. The gospel sets us free from sin (Galatians 5:1), empowers us to live purposefully (John 10:10), and invites us into a loving relationship with God (Romans 8:1-2).

The gospel unites us in ways that transcend cultural, social, and political divides (Galatians 3:28). In Christ, we find a shared mission that brings people together, fostering genuine unity in the church (Philippians 2:1-2). This unity has the power to reshape our world. The gospel also changes everything in our personal lives—it transforms how we think (Romans 12:2), how we love (John 13:34-35), and how we live each day (2 Corinthians 5:17). It’s not just a belief for the future; it’s the foundation for living out our faith now. When the gospel is really the gospel in our lives, it’s influencing every aspect of our lives.

+ The Good News About Race

Race has long been a source of division in society, but the gospel offers a radically different perspective. In Christ, all distinctions that typically divide—race, ethnicity, social status—are no longer what define us (Colossians 3:11). Instead, we are all part of the same spiritual family. The gospel teaches us to view each other through the lens of Christ’s love, where unity and diversity coexist (Ephesians 2:14-16).

God’s design celebrates our differences without letting them become barriers to unity (1 Corinthians 12:12-14). Rather than ignoring race or being "colorblind," the gospel encourages us to embrace our differences as part of God’s creative design (Psalm 139:14). It compels us to pursue reconciliation and justice, actively breaking down racial divides and creating spaces where all people are welcomed and loved in Christ (Micah 6:8, Galatians 6:2). Our identity as believers in Jesus transcends worldly distinctions and unites us in His mission to bring love and healing to the world.

+ The Good News About Human Life

At MIX Church, we believe that all human life is sacred, starting from conception. Scripture tells us that God knows each of us intimately, even before we are born (Jeremiah 1:5). Additionally, science confirms human life begins at conception. Life carries immense value to God, and as believers, we are called to protect it with the same reverence (Psalm 139:13-14).

This includes extending love and protection to the unborn (Proverbs 24:11). But we are also called to extend grace and compassion to those who have experienced the pain and difficulty of abortion (Romans 3:23-24). God’s heart is full of grace and mercy, offering healing and restoration to anyone who seeks it (1 John 1:9). Our response to this issue is not about choosing a political side but about aligning with God’s heart, which is a commitment to life, love, and redemption (Luke 10:25-37).

+ The Good News About Sexuality

In today’s culture, sexuality is often seen as central to personal identity and fulfillment. Society teaches that sexual freedom, in all its forms, is key to living a full life. However, the Bible reminds us that sex is a gift from God, but it is not the ultimate purpose of our existence (1 Corinthians 6:13). God designed sex to be enjoyed within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:24), where it fosters intimacy, love, and commitment.

True freedom is not found in indulging every desire but in living in alignment with God’s design (1 Corinthians 6:12). Regardless of sexual orientation or struggles, we are called to honor God with our bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), recognizing that our identity is found in Him (Colossians 3:3). For those who have strayed from God’s plan, His grace is always available (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). Through Christ, we can find healing, restoration, and the freedom to live according to God’s perfect design (Titus 2:11-12).

+ The Good News About Money

Talking about money in the church can be uncomfortable, but generosity is a core aspect of our faith. In the Old Testament, tithing—giving 10% of one’s income—was part of the law (Leviticus 27:30). However, as New Testament believers, we are not bound by the law of tithing (Galatians 3:24-25). Instead, we are called to give out of a heart of gratitude and generosity, not obligation (2 Corinthians 9:7). When we live this way, the tithe looks less like a requirement and more like a powerful tool for moving God’s mission forward. 

At MIX, we believe that generosity is about more than just financial giving—it’s about giving our time, energy, and resources to partner with God’s mission (Matthew 6:19-21). The early church modeled joyful and willing giving to support the work of the church (Acts 2:44-45). When we give generously, we are investing in God’s Kingdom, believing that the world will be as good as we give (Luke 6:38). As we follow Christ’s example of generosity (2 Corinthians 8:9), we partner with Him in transforming lives. 

+ The Good News About Politics

Politics is unavoidable in today’s world, but how should Christians engage with it? Jesus didn’t shy away from political issues, yet He refused to be defined by them (John 18:36). When He stood before Pilate, He acknowledged the political implications of His mission but made it clear that His Kingdom was not of this world (Mark 15:2-5). As His followers, our ultimate allegiance is to God’s Kingdom, not to any political party (Philippians 3:20).

As Christians, we are called to engage in politics with grace, love, and wisdom (Colossians 4:5-6). Our participation should reflect the character of Christ (Galatians 5:22-23). While politics can be a platform to promote justice and good (Micah 6:8), we must remember that it is not the ultimate solution to the world’s problems. Only God’s Kingdom brings true transformation (Isaiah 9:7). We are called to be ambassadors of Christ, advancing His love and justice in every sphere (2 Corinthians 5:20).

+ The Good News About Alcohol

Is drinking alcohol a sin? The Bible doesn’t prohibit drinking but warns against drunkenness (Ephesians 5:18). Alcohol itself is not the issue—how we use it is. The key is living wisely, making decisions that reflect Christ’s love and purpose (1 Corinthians 10:31).

Before deciding whether to drink, consider how it aligns with the life you want to live (Ephesians 5:15). Does alcohol help or hinder your relationships, health, or spiritual growth? The goal is not just to avoid bad behavior but to be filled with the Holy Spirit, allowing His influence to shape our actions (Galatians 5:16-17). Whether you choose to drink or abstain, let your choices honor God and reflect His wisdom (Proverbs 3:5-6).
