Our Mission
The mission of the church is to build Christians who worship God, walk
in love, and witness to the world (Matthew 28:19,20). We do this best
by following the biblical method of discipleship. The natural
response of spirit-filled lives impelled by Scripture is devotion to
God, our worship, and walk, and our witness.
IN OUR WORSHIP we worship God passionately as the Holy Spirit
combines head and heart in fresh expressions of devotion (Romans 12:1).
We believe that God is most glorified when we are most pleased in Him.
Therefore, we cultivate a sense of awe and enjoyment of God in our
public worship services and our private lives.
IN OUR WALK we love one another in Christ-centered relationships that
reflect a commitment to true Christian maturity and community (John
13:35). We believe that Christians are indissolubly linked by our
common commitment to Jesus Christ. Therefore, we are drawn to the body
of Christ as the means of encouragement, growth, and accountability.
IN OUR WITNESS we proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ for the joy of
all people (Matthew 28:19-20). We believe that a healthy body bears
much fruit. Therefore, we strive to know Him and make Him known at
every opportunity open to us, individually and corporately, both here
and around the world.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be a teaching church, where every ministry and member
is committed to the proclamation and application of the Word of God so
that others may come to know Him and live to the glory of God. Thus, we
will preach and teach the Word of God at every opportunity in every
possible way. This is the primary method of disciple-making by which we
accomplish our mission. A church centered on the Word of God will not
fall for the foolish fads of modern man. All other efforts are like
grass that withers and dies, but the Word of the Lord abides forever.
