Our Purpose & Mission

 
Purpose: 
Our purpose is to glorify God by knowing and obeying Jesus Christ. “Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.” Proverbs 19:21
Mission: 
Our mission is to help people experience loving and healthy relationships with God and with one another.

Core Values:
1.    We value lost people. Because they matter to God, they also matter to us.
2.    We value one another. We love one another because of God’s love for us.
3.    We value the Bible as the true Word of God and our final authority for life and truth.
4.    We value service of God and of one another through the power of the Holy Spirit.
5.    We value maturity in Christ as our highest goal.
6.    We value prayer as our lifeline to God.

Philosophy of Ministry:

Because we have gladly received God’s grace, we will extend grace to others so that they might also know Christ and glorify God.
We will therefore, as God enables us:  Create a welcoming atmosphere for those looking for a church home; Love one another so that others will see Christ at work in us;  Disciple each other so that we will mature in our walk with God and influence others to join us in our walk; Worship passionately in ways that glorify God, build up the body, and encourage newcomers.
 
Vision: 
Our vision is to become a loving family for spiritually homeless people where they can grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
