We serve to give people a renewed picture of Jesus and his church. We believe many people have experienced a distorted picture of Jesus or the church. Our hope is to help people see Him more clearly—through the way we live, love, and follow Him together.

Our Mission
To make disciples who practice and portray the way of Jesus together for the Inland Empire and the world.
Following Jesus is not something that happens only on Sundays. It’s a way of life. At Portrait, we want to learn the life and lifestyle of Jesus together. That journey often looks like four simple invitations:
See Jesus, discovering who He truly is Be With Jesus, learning to live in relationship with Him
Become Like Jesus, allowing His character to shape our lives Do What Jesus Did, joining His mission in the world
Our Values
Gospel Over Everything
The good news of Jesus—His life, death, and resurrection—shapes everything about who we are. We believe the gospel has the power to transform lives.
Kingdom Over Empire
Our goal isn’t simply to grow a church. Our desire is to see God’s Kingdom expand. We pursue God’s Spirit over our strategies and seek to serve our city and the world in humility.
Person Over Persona
We want to create spaces where people can bring their whole selves—not a polished version of themselves.
We pursue a community marked by honesty, diversity, and love, reflecting the vision of every tribe, tongue, and nation worshiping together.
Wonder Over Cynicism
We choose curiosity and hope over suspicion and cynicism. We listen first, seek understanding, and believe grace and truth belong together.
Practice Over Perfection
Following Jesus is a process, not a performance. We don’t try to impress God; we train to be formed by Him. Even when growth feels slow, we keep practicing the way of Jesus together.
We Believe In
The Gospel
The gospel is the good news that God has come to rescue and renew the world through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through faith in Him, people are reconciled to God and invited into a new life empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Discipleship
Discipleship means learning to live like Jesus so that we can become more like Him.
God
There is one God who exists eternally as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He created all things and rules over all creation in perfect love and power.
Humanity
Every human is created in the image of God and has inherent dignity and worth. Because of sin, humanity is separated from God—but through Jesus, we can be restored.
Jesus
Jesus is fully God and fully human—the promised Savior who lived a perfect life, died for our sins, rose again, and now reigns as King.
Salvation
Salvation is a gift of grace received through faith in Jesus. Through the Holy Spirit, believers are united with Christ and transformed into His likeness.
The Church
The Church is the global family of Jesus’ followers, expressed through local communities of believers. Jesus is the head of the Church.
Eternity
Jesus will one day return to renew creation, judge the living and the dead, and establish His eternal Kingdom.
The Bible
The Bible is God’s inspired Word and the final authority for faith and life.
Sexuality & Marriage
We believe God created humans male and female in His image and designed marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman. We seek to approach these convictions with humility, compassion, and a commitment to love all people well.
