Our Confession
of Mission
By the grace of God; through the power of God;
For the love of God; to the glory of God;
We commit:
To reach upward to God in worship and prayer;
To reach outward to the world in witness and service; And
To reach inward to each other in fellowship and discipleship.
Enabled by the Spirit
So shall we live and so shall we proclaim
The Good News of Jesus Christ. Amen!
Our
Vision
For
God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made His light shine in our
hearts
to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of
Christ. II Corinthians 4:6
Our Purpose
The Great
Commandment "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul
and with all your mind ... Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the
Prophets hang on these two commandments." Matthew 22:37-40
The Great
Commission
"Go and
make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of
the Son and of the
Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." Matthew
28:19-20
Our Calling
We exalt
the Father, Son and Holy Spirit in worship.
"But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers
will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to
worship him. God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and
truth." John 4:23-24
We
embrace, love and care for believers.
"This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you."
John 15:12
We
equip believers through the study of Scriptures.
"Sanctify them in the truth; Thy Word is truth." John 17:17
We
evangelize to share the light of Christ with those in darkness.
Jesus has come as light into the world that everyone who believes
in Him may not remain in darkness.
John 12:46
We engage
ourselves in the struggle for freedom from sin -- fear, oppression, hunger, and
injustice -- through obedience to God's call in our world.
"Let
your light so shine before others, that they may see your good works and give
glory to your Father who is in heaven." Matthew 5:16
