"...Building a community with Jesus –
to reach a community with Jesus..."
. . . in obedience to the Great Commandment and the Great Commission. We pursue this mission by building disciple-making believers in Christ, equipping workers for service to Christ, multiplying shepherds for servant leadership under Christ, and winning the community to Christ.
We yearn to become a community of people of all races and ages participating fully in the life and love of Jesus and caring for the souls of one another. We want everyone to feel at home whenever we’re together—to feel invited, accepted, included, and loved unconditionally.
We aspire to grow as a church where…
· We love the Lord by celebrating his presence in heartfelt worship, joyful praise, and faith-filled prayer in ways that are culturally sensitive, diverse, intergenerational, and relevant.
· We love the Lord’s people by providing a community environment that is loving, compassionate, and accepting of people who are hurting. We believe that in this environment of love, members are inspired to become fully devoted followers of Christ who live out the Lord’s life-transforming teachings and minister using their God-given spiritual gifts to live for Christ in the world.
· We love the community by reaching beyond ourselves to express love to all peoples and sharing the timeless message of the gospel in culturally relevant ways .
· Christ-centered: The essence of Christianity is to live out of a genuine loving relationship with Jesus Christ, our Lord, Savior, and friend.
· Spirit-led: As Christians we receive the Holy Spirit and, as we yield to his lead, he imparts God’s righteousness and reveals God’s will.
· Grace-filled: We celebrate the transformed lives made possible through the full forgiveness and unconditional love of Jesus Christ.
· Bible-based: The Bible is God’s inspired word, our authoritative and trustworthy rule of faith and practice for Christians.
· Community-living: The church is a gift from God to his people – a place where divine life and power is manifestly present to glorify God and meet the needs of repentant human beings.
