Our Mission

We exist to glorify God through Gospel-Centered Worship, Community, Service and Multiplication.

Worship

We were created to worship. God's design for humanity was to love Him and enjoy Him forever. But since the fall of humanity man has been worshiping other things (Romans 1:21-23). All of our thoughts, words, actions and desires are supposed to be an act of worship, whether towards our Creator or towards His creation. 1 Corinthians 10:31 tells us that we should do all things for the glory of God.


We want to help direct peoples' worship back to God. Through the gathering of the saints in a corporate service we hope to help people worship the Creator instead of the created. In this setting we worship through remembering the gospel in preaching, teaching, singing, praying and the celebration of the ordinances of baptism and communion.

Community

The Christian faith is not meant to be lived in isolation. God has made us to be relational creatures, in relationship with Him and with others. The local church is not just a place where we gather for a worship service, but a place in which we live out this design. In 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 we are told that we are members of the body, telling us that there is an expectation that we must contribute to that body for the glory of God.


True community is not about mere attendance and casual involvement. It is where love and care is displayed with consistency and authenticity. This kind of community is not built with just an hour a week, but with constant effort throughout the week; whether in home groups, Sunday school classes or other intimate settings.

Service

The term servant should be synonymous with the title Christian. Our example, Jesus, was the perfect picture of servanthood. This role was not forced upon Him, but was a result of His character; loving, kind, compassionate, gracious and merciful. The Christian's attitudes and desires should reflect the character of Jesus Christ.


Because of the power of the gospel to give us new desires, we desire to serve others and not ourselves. There are many opportunities to serve others, both on and off our campus. Whatever talent the Lord has given you, we want to help you develop and use your talent to the utmost. John 13:1-20 & 2 Corinthians 8:1-15

Multiplication

We are motivated to multiply, because of the Great Commission in Matthew 28:18-20. Multiplication is not about getting others to look more like you, but helping others find the ultimate joy and freedom that is found only in having your identity in Christ. The gospel transforms the spiritually dead to life.


Multiplication does not take place one hour a week or only in a church building. We know that multiplication takes place over an extended amount of time and is not central to only one location. There must be a commitment to doing life together. We understand that multiplication needs to take place at a small group Bible study, a soccer field and on foreign soil. We are disciples making disciples.
