Purpose and Values

Purpose

Worship God           Equip Believers        Build Community        Share Christ


Values

Worship
We value Worship as the supreme God-honoring act of the congregation assembling intentionally, seeking to experience God’s glory through His Word proclaimed and praise lifted to Him. Worship is also the individual daily laying down onself as a living sacrifice, becoming transformed to the image of Christ.

Biblical Authority
We value Biblical Authority as the Bible, recognized as God’s revelation of Himself to the world and as the absolute standard for our personal and congregational lives. 

Prayer
We value Prayer as the personal and corporate discipline of communication with God, acknowledging and depending upon Him as the source of power, direction and effectiveness in all areas of life.

Discipleship
We value Discipleship as obeying God’s command to make disciples by engaging others in relationships that mutually encourage and push one another to grow spiritually by daily dying to our own wills and actively living out the commands of Jesus.

Community
We value Community as the congregation’s intentional, continuing pursuit of strong, caring relationships with each other, resulting in authenticity, openness, encouragement, ministry, and accountability.

Evangelism
We value Evangelism as obeying God’s command to take the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ to the lost world, engaging them in relationship, while fulfilling our roles as ministers of reconciliation. 

Missions
We value Missions as cooperating with God where He is at work to reach the lost world with the gospel through ministries of the congregation  locally, nationally, and internationally.

Stewardship
We value Stewardship as personally and corporately responding in love and obedience to God’s grace through regular, joyful giving of our time, spiritual gifts, and financial resources in ministry to others in the name of Jesus Christ.
