Mission Statement and Values

Mission:
     To reach and develop all people into fully committed followers of Jesus Christ.

Vision:
     To be a biblically functioning community of believers that accurately reflects Jesus Christ to the world and strives to accomplish His redemptive purposes in the world.

     Our goal, in cooperation with other Christians, is to further God's Kingdom in our midst, but also, in obedience to His Great Commission, to labor to extend His Kingdom worldwide.

The Great Commission (Matthew 28:19,20):
"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."
