Vision:

Our vision is to help people begin and grow in a personal relationship with God.

We expect that this will result in...

1. Changed Lives
As a church we have taken seriously the challenge Christ gave us, known as the Great Commission. (Matthew 28:18-20)

We seek to help one another become authentic followers of Christ. We do this through corporate worship, teaching, accountable relationships, and caring fellowship.

We seek to help others begin this process by providing them with the opportunity to make an informed decision to follow Christ in the context of a caring relationship.

2. Community Impact
We have accepted responsibility for the spiritual life of our community. Thus, we will be actively engaged in its day-to-day life: We will model the love of Christ to its government, schools, and business community. We expect God to call individuals from our congregation to affect each of these areas of community life.

3. Global Outreach
We have accepted responsibility to carry the good news of Christ beyond our own community to our region and even to distant parts of the world. (Acts 1:8)


We are convinced that the most effective means of achieving this end is through the establishment of new churches, and will will work diligently to assist in their birth.

We are convinced that our priority must be in reaching those who are not involved in a church and particularly those who have never heard the gospel.   (2 Cor. 10:15b-18) We understand that this will affect how we plan our strategy here at home and around the world. We understand that we will have to say 'no' to many worthwhile projects in order to concentrate on this priority.

4. Glory to Christ
We seek to uphold the honor of Christ until He returns in all His glory. We seek to conform our characters to His, to continually declare His goodness, and to promote vital, vibrant worship among His followers.

Matthew 28:18-20
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

Acts 1:8
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

2 Cor. 10:15b-18
Our hope is that as your faith continues to grow, our area of activity about you will greatly expand so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast about work already done in another man's territory but, "Let him who boasts, boast the Lord." For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
