Our Vision
Our Mission... why we exist
"We exist to live, tell, and teach God's life changing story to people and to lead those people into a vibrant ever growing love relationship with Jesus Christ so that they can go and do likewise."
Our Purpose... what we continually focus on
The Great Commandment :: "The most important commandment is this: 'Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord. And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.' The second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' No other commandment is greater than these." Mark 12:29-31 (NLT)
The Great Commission :: "I have been given complete authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20 (NLT)
Our Dreams...what the future holds
- We dream of a community where the wounded, the discouraged, the unfulfilled and the broken can find acceptance, encouragement and an authentic hope for a new and meaningful life.
- We dream of a community where innovation, new ideas, and initiative are honored and encouraged.
- We dream of a community where people are regularly sharing Christ with their friends and feel comfortable inviting all people with them to experience the presence of God.
- We dream of a community where people are growing in their relationship with Christ and are open to learning from one another.
- We dream of a community where people pray faithfully and expectantly.
- We dream of a community where the Bible is taught in an exciting and culturally relevant way while remaining biblically pure.
- We dream of a community that is always reaching beyond it’s boundaries, a group that supports the poor, the homeless, and those in need, including prisoners and world wide missionaries.
- We dream of a community where loving relationships and spiritual values are more important then programs, buildings or budgets. These last three are only tools for ministry.
- We dream of a community where all Christ followers are growing together in spiritual maturity through Bible study and prayer in small groups.
- We dream of a community where people far from God will experience God in worship, and will be transformed by His power, His love, and His holiness.
- We dream of a community that reproduces local churches as well as Christ-followers.
