Vision and Values

Vision

“To set our communities ablaze with a passion for Jesus Christ.”  Luke 24:32


Mission

"To obey the Great Commandment (Matt. 22:37-38)
and
Live the Great Commission (Matt. 28:19-20)"


Strategy

    To personally (individually)…                      

Invest in the lost
Invite them to Jesus
Include them in the Body

 

Core Values

We value...
People before programs.  All people matter to God and therefore matter to us.

Do you see people through God's eyes and heart?

Relationships as the conduit for all ministry.

Who within the church and outside the church are you building a relationship with in order to share the love of God?

Others and put the needs of the unchurched above our own.

What will you (we) give up in order to share the message of Christ with a lost person?

Jesus as the only way to have a relationship with the father and eternal life.

Have you accepted God's gift of salvation through Jesus Christ?

The Bible and teach its truths as relevant to daily life.

Are you using the Scriptures as a basis for lifestyle choices and daily decisions?

Worship - both corporate and private

Is intimacy with and praise of God a priority in your personal schedule?

Prayer as the primary tool the Holy Spirit uses to empower us.

Are you nurturing your spirit by spending regular time alone with God?

Transformational growth through the Holy Spirit.

Is the Fruit of the Spirit evident in your daily living?

The next generation as our personal responsibility.

Are you purposefully investing in young people and children to draw them into a personal relationship with Christ?

Our church as a community of believers loving each other as a family.

Are you caring for your brothers and sisters?

Excellence and strive to achieve it in all of our ministries.

Are you going the extra mile to ensure you offer your best to God?
