Our Vision, Mission & Values

Our Vision: Why do we exist?

We exist to see lives transformed by the power and hope of the Gospel.
Romans 1:16; 12:2; Ephesians 1:18-19; I Peter 1:3

Our Mission: What do we do?

We make disciples who love, grow, serve, and go.
• Love – Every member loving God and others. (Matthew 22:37)
• Grow – Every member growing in community as a disciple of Jesus. (Matthew 4:19)
• Serve – Every member serving sacrificially with their gifts. (I Corinthians 11:27)
• Go – Every member going on mission to their neighbors and the nations. (Matthew 28:16-20)

Values: What is important?

We are Gospel Centered. (Everything begins and ends with Jesus)
• The life, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus define who we are and why we exist. We believe that the Gospel is our only hope for salvation and has the power to bring spiritualtransformation. (I Corinthians 2:2; Galatians 2:20)

We are Biblically Rooted. (The Word shapes who we are)
• The Bible is our foundation. We allow the truth of God’s Word to shape our beliefs, guide our ministry, and sustain our growth. (Psalm 1:3; II Timothy 3:16-17)

We are Prayerfully Dependent (Prayer changes things.)
• We recognize that apart from the Spirit of God moving through prayer, we can do nothing. Prayer connects us to the Father, invites the Spirit to work, and empowers us to live on mission.(I Thessalonians 5:17)

We are Mission-Driven. (The mission of God fuels everything we do)
• The Gospel compels us to go. We boldly proclaim the Gospel, we generously give to fulfill the mission, and we sacrificially love our neighbors so all might know Jesus. (Matthew 28:16-20)

We are Growth-Oriented. (We refuse to stay the same.)
• We actively pursue ongoing spiritual growth, trusting God to transform us from the inside out. We believe that Gospel transformation leads to Gospel multiplication. (II Corinthians 5:17)

We are Multi-Generational. (The church spans every age and stage of life.)
• We value every generation as part of God’s family recognizing that we are strongest when we are united together in faith and purpose. (Psalm 78:4)

Strategy: How do we do it?

We provide environments and pathways that help people love, grow, serve, and go, so they can become mature disciples of Jesus.
