Our Mission and Vision
“To Know Christ and Make Him Known”
As a church, we want to cooperate with what the Lord of the church is doing. He leads, we follow. Aligned with the purposes of God, we more fully become the people and the church God wants us to be. We can better discern how to cooperate with God. We can run with purpose.
“To know Christ and make Him known.” This brief but powerful statement captures much of what we believe is God’s purpose for the church. “To know Christ and make Him known” is a high calling and a holy privilege. We want to know our Savior better and make known our Lord and His kingdom and His power and His glory.
