ABOUT US

WORSHIP | CONNECT | REACH

We feel it is our call from God to go outside the church to reach the lost and broken. God has placed in front of us a very specific mission. We intend to follow through with God's plans and follow him as closely as possible. Through prayer we build a stronger relationship with Him and understand his plan for us better.

We believe that caring relationships should permeate our personal and church lives. We seek to build relationships as a means of reaching others for Christ and helping them to grow spiritually. This includes showing appreciation for one another, sensitivity to visitors, in expressions of hospitality and encouraging participation in small groups.

WORSHIP

 

WORSHIP: As a Christ-centered fellowship, we desire to encounter the living, almighty God through the experience of authentic worship.

(Psalm 150:1-6)

 

WE envision a church that engages God in meaningful worship. Because worship is the deepest expression of our relationship with God, we will seek to connect with Him through authentic, creative, inspiring opportunities to interact with Him. We will respond to God’s grace in our lives with our whole heart, as we worship in spirit and truth.

 

CONNECT

 

CONNECT: As a Christ-centered fellowship, we accept, love, trust and respect one another, encouraging relationships that build a strong community of faith. (Romans 12:5)

 

We envision a church in which loving relationships permeate every aspect of church life. We desire a unified Christ-led, Holy Spirit empowered church where our love is demonstrated by our care for one another. We will be a community where all people love and are loved, encourage and encouraged, forgive and forgiven, serve and are served, shepherd and are shepherded. We will treat others with respect, and will support and hold one another accountable.

 

REACH

 

REACH: As a Christ-centered fellowship, we honor the authority of Jesus in obedience to the Great Commission by sharing the gospel with all people. (Matthew 28: 19-20)

 

We envision a church that has a passion and a plan for reaching the world . We will become a church that embraces a multifaceted approach to evangelism which includes local and national partnerships and outreach. We will equip and encourage believers to readily share the gospel in daily life. We will boldly proclaim the truth of the gospel and lovingly demonstrate the grace of the gospel.
