OUR MISSION
Glorifying God by loving Christ,
loving one another, and reaching the world.
OUR CORE VALUES
We value: Glorifying God – Above all else, everything we do is for the glory of God. (Romans 11:33-12:2) Prayerful dependence - We will look to God for His perspective, His direction, and His enabling at all times and for all things. (Philippians 4:6-7) Biblical teaching – Relevant Biblical teaching can transform, change, and inspire us to live obedient lives. (Joshua 1:8; Hebrews 4:12) Reaching lost people – Understanding God values all people, we will seek to fulfill the Great Commission by participating in sharing the good news at home, in our city, and around the world. (Luke 19:10; II Corinthians 5:20; Matthew 28:19-20) Authentic Community - We desire biblical fellowship by building community through loving and grace-filled relationships. This is where we learn and practice what it means to live out our calling to be disciples. (John 13:34-35; Acts 2:42-47) Sacrificial living – We will embrace the vision of our local church by serving, utilizing our spiritual gifting, and giving in a generous and faithful manner. (II Corinthians 8:1-5; I Corinthians 12:1-31; John 13:1-17; Romans 12:1) Faith-filled living – God calls us to take continual steps of faith which often involves change. (Hebrews 11:6)
