About Us /Mission, Purpose, Vision, Core Values

Mission
To Know God and to Make Him Known

Purpose
To experience God's presence in our lives
To express God's truth to our culture
To extend God's love through our compassion

Vision
To become a "first call" church in our community by serving
spiritual, social, emotional and physical needs as opportunity
and resources allow. We represent Christ as his hands to work,
his feet to go, his arms to embrace, his voice to speak,
and his heart to love.

Values
We value God:
   -  His person: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
   -  His Word
   -  His Worship

We value People:
  - Children
  - Youth
  - Adults

We value Evangelism:
  - Initially expressed in our desire to continually reach new
    people
  - Completely expressed in our commitment to Christian growth
  - Locally expressed in our ministries and worship services
  - Globally expressed in our involvement in extended missions

We value Christ-likeness:
  - Obedience in all areas of life and godliness
  - Personal holiness
  - Servant-hood and sacrifice

We value Fellowship and the Family of God:
  - Spiritual friendships and support
  - Stewardship and service
  - Membership and accountability
  - Commitment and discipleship

We value our Community:
  - All faith groups: the churched and the un-churched
  - All social, ethnic, and economic groups

We value Prayer:
 - We want to be a "House of prayer for all nations"
 - Without knowing God through prayer, all our other values
    risk being short-sighted and self-serving
