Mission & Vision
Our MISSION is to "multiply growing disciples." This comes straight out of the Bible, from the Great Commission of Jesus in Matthew 28:8-20.
Our VISION is: Building a Community of Grace by Transforming Broken People into Committed Followers of Jesus Christ.
Transforming – a life-long process of allowing God to change our character to be more like Jesus.
(2 Corinthians 3:18; Romans 12:1,2)
Broken – realizing we can't do it on our own and becoming desperate for God.
(John 5:1-8; Luke 7:36-50; Romans 7:14-25).
Grace – God’s unconditional love for us shown by providing a way back to Him through Jesus Christ.
(Ephesians 2:8,9; 2 Corinthians 12:7-10; Titus 2:11,12).
Community – living out our faith in Christ together in an atmosphere of love, transparency, honesty, nurture and reverence.
(Acts. 2:42-47)
