Vision and Values

After prayerfully considering how the Lord is going to work in us, upon us, and through us in the months and years ahead, we outline the following:

  • We will rely upon everyday personal contact as our primary avenue of outreach and evangelism.
  • We will target the unevangelilzed and the unchurched in our efforts to fulfil the Great Commission.
  • We will experience numerical growth as a church by emphasizing spiritual growth and Christ-like transformation in the individual.
  • We will be instrumental in changing the spiritual landscape of our region from one that is dry and desolate to one that is saturated with the gospel and abounding in the fruit of the Spirit.
  • We will release, commission, and assist those among us whom God has called into vocational ministry of the gospel.
  • We will plant and/or assist with the planting of churches in strategic, under-evangelized locations of our region.
  • We will provide immediate hope and long-term help to those in financial distress through one-on-one instruction and discipleship.
  • We will counter our culture's trend of disposing of broken relationships by promoting God's original plan for marriage.
  • We will come alongside those who are broken and hurting, giving them hope and guiding them toward restoration.
  • We will encourage and equip every member of the Body of Christ to discover and exercise their spirtual   gift(s) in the work of the ministry.
  • We will actively engage every age-group, from infants to senior-adults, realizing that all  have value purpose in the eyes of our Creator.
