Our Mission and Values

Real people really loving God and others.

This includes how we start our new life in Christ and live it out daily.
John 3:3; Romans 12:7; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; James 1:23-25.

Compassionate Outreach

Lost people matter to God and, therefore, must matter to the church.
This includes missions, relational evangelism, and evangelism as a process. Matthew 28:19-20; Luke 15; Acts 1:8; 1 Peter 3:9.

Life Together

People mature through participation in various small group ministries.
This includes discipleship, shepherding, love, openness, and deep/genuine friendships. Mark 3:14; 6:30-31; Luke 6:12-13; Acts 2:42-47; Romans 12:10; Galatians 6:1-2; James 5:16, 19-20.

Authentic Worship

Participation in authentic worship is a necessary response to a loving God.
This includes prayer, commitment, corporate and private worship. John 4:21-25;
Acts 2:47; Colossians 3:16; Hebrews 10:24-25.

Truth for Today

The church should remain doctrinally pure while being culturally relevant.
This includes relating to our culture through our facility, schedules, worship style, and media. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23; 2 Timothy 3:16-17.

Full Devotion

The pursuit of full devotion to Christ and His cause should be normal for every believer.

United in Service

As a unified and gifted community, we should serve each other and impact the world. This includes unity, servanthood, God-given gifts and passions, and ministry calling. Romans 12:4-8; 1 Corinthians 12 & 14; Ephesians 4:11-12; 1 Peter 4:10-11.
