OUR VISION & VALUES
Vision
LOVING God and others with our whole hearts, minds and strength, so that we experience Christ through our relationships.
Church is a place where we live, care and grow together through the intergenerational relationships that are built. We also see the church as a safe haven for family living. We believe the church provides the support to help keep families thriving together.
GROWING through personal and corporate worship of God, so that we will come to know Him better.
Central to all that we do is the clear and relevant teaching of the Bible. It is taught in all areas of our church life. Church is also a place where we celebrate the majesty of God in whole-hearted worship. We seek to opportunities to praise God’s name through a variety of music styles, multimedia presentations and engaging sermons to touch the lives and hearts of all ages.
REACHING out to a lost world through acts of gospel-centered generousity, so that others come to know Jesus.
Lost people matter to God, so lost people matter to us. We seek to encourage ever believer to build relationships with those who do not know Christ by providing opportunities to reach out to our community and to our world.
Values
Fulfillment
We believe that man was created in the image of God for the glory of God and when we pursue Him we will find our greatest fulfillment and satisfaction in life. Therefore, we will encourage people to seek Him, know Him, and listen to Him as their ultimate authority in all matters of life.
God’s Word
We believe that the Spirit-led teaching of God’s Word is the catalyst for transformational living in the life of any individual. Therefore, we will provide various opportunities for people to study God’s Word together.
Prayer
We believe that prayer, expressed with a spirit of humility and brokenness not only touches the heart of God, but it also connects us to the heart of God and enables us to carry out the will of God. Therefore, we integrate prayer into our gatherings and promote personal prayer in the lives of our people.
Authentic Relationships
We believe that the church is a community of real people living out real faith. Therefore, we will provide small group and discipleship opportunities where relationships, caring, and the application of biblical teaching are emphasized.
Personal Growth and Holiness
We believe that God’s best for each believer involves all followers to pursue holiness and continually take steps toward intimacy with Christ. Therefore, we provide discipleship opportunities for all levels of spiritual maturity and welcome accountability for how we live.
Reaching the Lost
We believe that lost people matter to God and therefore matter to us. Therefore, we encourage every believer to intentionally invest in personal relationships outside of church, meeting physical needs, sharing the gospel message, and inviting them to explore a personal relationship with Jesus and His church.
Every Member Participation
We believe that the body works best when the whole body works. Therefore, we encourage everyone to discover their spiritual gifts and actively use them.
Generosity
We believe that we are stewards and that God owns all things. Since He is generous in nature, He invites us to be generous in all things. Therefore, we will teach, encourage, and provide opportunities for generous giving in all areas of life.
Cultural Relevance
We believe that the church is most effective when its ministry of reconciliation is combined with cultural relevance with doctrinal purity. Therefore, we will subject our ministry to constant evaluation and improvement in order to effectively engage each generation by bringing the unchanging truth of God to a changing culture.
