Our Purpose

"To bring honor and glory to God and enjoy Him forever."

Our Mission

"To help people fall in love with Jesus by our worship, service, fellowship, discipleship, and evangelism."

Our vision

Our vision is:

• to provide authentic Christian community where everyone can experience Christ's love and grace, the power of prayer, and the truth of the Bible.
• to develop a committed and highly qualified equipping ministry staff.
• to increase our commitment to Missions - local, and worldwide.

• to recognize our Children and Youth as gifts from God and to do whatever it takes to develop them for the future of the Church.

• to develop a facility that is flexible, functional, and accommodating for all activities including worship, children, youth, and adult education, fellowship gatherings and other activities, through innovative short term and long term building modifications and expansion.

• to identify and promote community outreach opportunities while continuing to grow the Community Easter Service.

What Do We Believe?

• God is bigger and better and closer than we can imagine.
• The Bible is God's perfect guidebook for living.
• Jesus is God showing himself to us.
• Through His Holy Spirit, God lives in and through us now.
• Nothing in creation "just happened." God made it all.
• Grace is the only way to have a relationship with God.
• Faith is the only way to grow in our relationship with God.
• God has allowed evil to provide us with a choice, God can bring good even out of evil events and God promises victory over evil to those who choose him.
• Heaven and hell are real places. Death is a beginning, not the end.
• The church is to serve people like Jesus served people.
• Jesus is coming again
