You were made on purpose, for a life full of purpose (Eph. 2:10).
If pain — even from religion itself — has made that hard to believe,
you’re exactly who we’re here for.
Welcome to BASICS.
WHO WE ARE
BASICS exists for people who’ve been hurt or disillusioned — by life, by others, or by a church experience that looked nothing like Jesus. We’re a simple, judgment-free faith community where you can find real healing, discover (or rediscover) who God says you are, and move forward in the good life He planned for you long before you were born.
No hierarchy. No performance.
No one profiting off your pain.
Just honest people — all equals — following Jesus and God’s Word together.
And here’s what still amazes us: healing doesn’t just change you. It changes the ground around you. Where thorns of hurt once grew, trees begin to grow and replace them — and those trees become a gift to everyone in your life.
That’s what we’re here for.
Ephesians 2:10 · Isaiah 55:12–13 · Galatians 5:6
A COMMUNITY AT THE TABLE
We share a meal during our gathering because throughout the Bible, sharing a table meant one thing: you belong here, like family. When you gather with us, you are not a customer or a passive observer. A chair has been pulled up specifically for you.
You are fully invited. Fully included. Fully family.

More about what to expect
Our basic approach
-
We see people for who they are today and the potential Christ is forming in them — not their past, not their wounds.
-
-
We believe God Word’s has truth and wisdom for life, so we don’t try to make Scripture fit our agendas or leave out inconvenient parts. Instead, we explore the whole Bible, in context, learning how to follow Jesus well.
