What We Believe
Our Mission | Our Purposes | Our Values | Our Statement of Faith
Loved People Love People.
"We love, because He first loved us." 1 John 4:19
That's what we believe. That's what we're here for. That's what we want to accomplish. Our mission forms the foundation of everything we do. Our mission as a church is:
OUR MISSION: To experience Christ's transforming love so that we can love Him, ourselves, our families, our church, and our world.
"And He said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your min.' This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets." Matthew 22:37-40
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:19-20
OUR SIX PURPOSES are the life-strengthening principles that form us and give us direction. These purposes include:
- WORSHIP - You were planned for God's Pleasure.
