Fixate PHX

by Fixate Phoenix

We believe in a church that is fixed on Jesus with unwavering attention and focus, that in a day in an age of distraction we fight back with devotion, that a life holistically following the ways of our Creator opens us up to be formed by Him and Him alone. A life of depth that produces fruit that remains, a life of discipline that builds everything we exist to do off of the Cornerstone, a life of sacrifice that shows the greatest love to a world so devoid of it, and a sustainable rhythm that keeps us walking with Him always.We see a church that loves the least, last, lost, broken, and forgotten. We see a church that turns careers into callings, and conversations into moments where you sense the Holy Spirit. We see a church that seeks to see Jesus and allows the Creator to create with His most prized possession; us. You're invited to the journey, where we seek first the Kingdom and righteousness, and trust that He can add all things in His time.
