Who We Are

Our Misson, Vision, and Core Values

Our Mission

The church's mission defines our identity.

The mission answers the question "why does our church exist?" In Matthew 28:19-20, the Bible clearly states the unchanging mission of the Church:
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

The Bible affirms that our mission is: To make followers of Jesus who in turn make more followers of Jesus.

Our Vision

A vision is a clear picture of the future for the Church as we believe it can and must be.

The vision answers the question "where is our church going?". In other words, the vision is a picture of the Church as it fulfills the mission. 
Together, we envision a body of believers who focus on...

Glorifying God

Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.
Isaiah 43:7(ESV)

Loving People

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 47-8 (ESV)

Transforming Lives

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another for this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit
2 Corinthians 317-18 (ESV)

More specifically, our vision is: We will work together to discover a deeper love for God to become a more welcoming community focused on being relevant so that we intentionally impact our neighbors and the world with the gospel.

Our Core Values

In the pursuit of our vision, we seek to highlight four disciple-making values that we believe will lead people to fulfill the mission of making followers of Jesus.

Connect

Grow

Serve

Go

Connect

We will foster a welcoming environment using the resources God has blessed us with in innovative ways.

With each interaction, we will intentionally make meaningful connections, building long lasting relationships.

But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all.

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.


Mark 10:43-45

Grow

With the goal of deepening every person's relationship with Jesus Christ, we will equip our church body based upon God's Word to model Christ at home, at work, and throughout our communities.

Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

Colossians 2:6-7

Serve

Following Christ's example, we will lovingly engage with our immediate and surrounding communities by building trusting relationships and establishing a positive influence.

 Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we will enthusiastically embrace our communities by serving others. We will set no limits on where God leads us to serve in His Name.

But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all.

For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.


Mark 10:43-45

Go

We will live as Jesus' followers, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and sent to minister where God calls us to bring the light of Christ.

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

Acts 1:8

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.

Hebrews 12:1
