Our mission drives everything we do — from the ministries we provide to the resources we produce. We hope this calling serves as an invitation to actively participate with us in the work of the Lord, rather than remain a passive observer. As a church, we are called to carry out both the Great Commission and the Great Commandment, and our mission was created to capture both of these critical mandates.
Part One
We love others by coming together to love, encourage, and fellowship — and then taking that love and encouragement to a lost and dying world. Gathering together is not just a tradition; it is an act of love toward God and toward one another.
"And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."Hebrews 10:24–25
Part Two
We love God by growing in our knowledge of Him and living in worshipful obedience to His Word. We believe that knowing Christ more deeply is a lifelong journey — one pursued in community, through Scripture, and in every season of life.
"You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."2 Peter 3:17–18
Part Three
The church does not exist only within its four walls. We are sent people — called to carry the gospel into our community, our region, and to the ends of the earth. Going is not optional; it is the natural overflow of a life transformed by Christ.
"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit."Matthew 28:19
Part Four
We make disciples by proclaiming the powerful gospel message — that Jesus Christ lived in perfect obedience to the Father, was crucified for our sin, was resurrected by the power of the Holy Spirit, ascended into heaven, and will one day return to make all things new.
"Teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen."Matthew 28:20
