Mission
To know God and
to make God known through lives transformed by Christ
Vision
We
are on an evangelistic, mission-oriented journey with
emphasis on bringing Jesus Christ to the world. Worship,
fellowship, discipleship, ministry development, and
evangelism enable us. Three strategic elements define our
moving forward:
-
Reaching Outward
— becoming a missional church for whom mission is the
organizing principle of all we do;
-
Looking Upward
— strengthening our relationship with God through
inspired worship, energizing prayer, and increasing reliance on the Holy
Spirit; and
-
Maturing Inward
— allowing our lives to be transformed by studying God’s
Word, developing greater intimacy with Christ and one
another, and living the Christian life.
