Our Mission & Vision
We are committed to loving God and others in every area of our lives. We will share our faith in Christ and help each other to grow and to stay strong in the Truth. We believe every believer should be empowered and equipped to pursue God’s purposes for their life and this church. We believe that our church as a whole, and the people individually, will be strong, united, and mature if we are faithful to live like this. Of course, this is only possible if we live in complete surrender to the Holy Spirit: in private, in public, at home, at work, on vacation, in the car, and in our services. A more “churchy” way of phrasing our mission and vision might look like this:We believe a great commitment to the “Great Commandment” (Mt 22:36-40) and the “Great Commission” (Mt 28:19-20) will grow a church with a great condition (Eph 4:11-16)!
