Our Mission
Continuing the Kingdom ministry of Jesus
Our mission is to continue the Kingdom ministry of Jesus as described in Isaiah 61:
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me, because the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to grant to those who mourn in Zion—to give them a beautiful headdress instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a faint spirit; that they may be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he may be glorified.”
Isaiah 61 / Luke 4
Our Vision
"To see our region forever transformed by the Gospel, cultivating fully devoted, fully equipped, fully effective disciples of Jesus."
What We Believe
Core values
Nine principles that shape how we worship, serve, and live together as a church community.
-
Rooted in Scripture
The Bible is our foundation — the inspired, authoritative Word of God that guides every aspect of our life and ministry. -
Dependent on the Holy Spirit
We depend fully on the Holy Spirit — for wisdom, empowerment, and the supernatural grace to fulfill God's call. -
Loving God with passion, and Love your neighbor as yourself!
Everything flows from Jesus's two great commandments: love God with everything you are, and love your neighbor as yourself. -
Unceasingly Prayerful
Prayer is not a program — it's the posture of a people who know they need God. We are a house of prayer. -
Seeking First His Kingdom
“On earth as it is in heaven” isn’t a wish—it’s a prayer He desires to answer. (Mt. 6:10) -
Dedicated to Discipleship
We believe in the slow, faithful work of making disciples — not producing consumers of Christianity but devoted followers of Jesus. -
Effective Evangelism
Every person in our region deserves to hear the good news. We are sent people — into our neighborhoods, workplaces, and the world. -
Serving Together in Unity with a spirit of excellence
The witness of the Church depends on our unity. We pursue reconciliation, humility, and oneness across every difference. -
Passionate in our Praise and Worship
Worship is not performance — it's the overflow of a people who have encountered God. We give our whole selves in praise.
Missions
Local and global
“Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19
We are called to partner with the global body of Christ to disciple nations, impact culture, and see entire regions transformed by Jesus Christ! We believe that the Great Commission found in Matthew 28:19 is at the heart of God’s will for the Church.
