Vision & Mission Statements
VISION
MISSION
Real people encountering the extraordinary Jesus who changes everything.
We risk everything to creatively engage everyone with the way of Jesus.
Values
DEPENDENCE
We rely on Jesus for everything
“I am the vine…apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5)
Every good thing comes from God and He designed us to need Him. So, the first thing we do is seek Him. We do it personally through time devoted to connecting with Him in spiritual practices. We do it corporately through prayer to receive His guidance, provision and grace.
INCLUSION
We see no one as outside our circle
“Christ died for all…so we regard no one from a human point of view.” (2 Corinthians 5:15-16)
We will be a church without walls. Whether someone is a part of the church or still yet to follow Jesus. Every person is God’s creation and invaluable to Him. We exemplify this by making every effort to make sure every person knows they are loved and belong with us.
LIFE-CHANGE
We pour into each other
“From Christ the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.” (Ephesians 4:16)
We know God’s good purpose for us is to reflect the image of Jesus, personally and corporately. His grace works this out in us as we trust and obey Him. All of this happens in the context of life-giving relationships. So, we make every effort to help everyone be connected in a discipling relationship for the purpose of becoming more like Jesus.
SERVICE
We jump at the chance to give ourselves away
“The greatest among you should be like…the one who serves.” (Luke 22:26)
Self-sacrifice helps every person experience the life of Jesus. So we seek to humble ourselves before Him and others. We know when we serve, we honor Jesus, bless everyone around us and set our own hearts free.
MISSION
We live to introduce everyone to Jesus
“I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.” (1 Corinthians 9:22)
There is no one on the planet that is outside of God’s grace and that He didn’t give His life for. That love is now in our hearts through God’s Spirit, to empower us to be His witnesses. We work hard to be prepared to share with everyone the reason for the hope we have with gentleness and respect.
