The clear direction of where we're going is guided by our Mission, Vision, and Values.
MISSION
Our mission is to lead others to thrive in Jesus
This mission statement is derived from Jesus words when he told his closest followers to "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" in the Great Commission.
At the core of who we are, we want to be leading others to thrive in the ways of Jesus.
Vision
Our vision is to encourage each other - young & old - to EXPERIENCE Jesus, DEVELOP our God given gifts, and SERVE the surrounding communities.
Our "Vision" is how we will accomplish our mission.
We get to encourage each other to: EXPERIENCE.
-
We experience Jesus through prayer and learning
-
Prayer is when we gather, but also at home and with others.
-
Learning occurs when we gather, but also at home and with others.
-
We get to encourage each other to: DEVELOP.
-
We develop our God-given gifts

When Jesus walked around, he served the needs of wherever He walked, and we strive to do the same.
