This purpose is rooted in three key Bible teachings:
- That we are all broken and in need of God’s grace.
- That Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection makes it possible for us to receive God’s salvation and to worship in ways that reflect His beauty, grace, power, and purpose.
- That Christ’s Commission to make disciples (evangelism) and to mature disciples (discipleship) is our most important collective calling.
Mission

Statement of Faith
- We believe in one God, the maker of heaven and earth: Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as revealed in the Holy Bible and made known in Jesus Christ our Lord;
- We believe that Jesus the divine Son became human, was born of a virgin, ministered in word and miracle, died for our sin, was raised bodily from the dead, ascended to God’s right hand and is coming again for His people;
- We believe that the Holy Spirit is presently ministering through the Christian community, empowering lives of godliness and service;
- We believe that the Holy Bible is completely God breathed, true in all its teaching, and the final authority for all matters of faith and practice;
- We believe that Jesus Christ established His church on earth to carry out His saving mission among all ethnic groups and formed her to be one holy people;
- We believe in God’s saving grace that calls forth from all people: faith, repentance, confession, baptism, and new life and ministry through the Spirit; and
- We commit ourselves to the teachings, practice and defense of these truths until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
