Our Vision

CONNECT uplifts the importance of worship, prayer and fellowship in our everyday lives. Connect means to be in a vital relationship with God, other believers, the church, and our family. It reminds us of the priority of building positive, long-lasting relationships with people at work, school, in the community, and at home. As we connect first with God, He makes it possible for us to build meaningful relationships with other believers; they, in turn, help us connect to a church family. These interconnected relationships enable us to welcome and invite people who are not yet part of our church.

GROW means knowing and obeying God’s word and understanding how it makes a difference in our daily lives. Gaining knowledge is vital, but we need more than information. True discipleship means discovering something fresh and inspiring in a passage we have read hundreds of times; and acting to apply it. We believe spiritual growth is best provided through small group Bible studies.

SERVE reminds us of our responsibility to work alongside fellow believers. Our church is full of ministry and service opportunities - from teaching a Life Group class or hosting a youth fellowship, to serving on the audio/visual ministry team. Every believer working together is necessary for the church to function. God gives and empowers us to serve and multiplies our efforts.

GO moves us outside the walls of the church and into our community and world. It may mean we drive a nail into a Habitat home, offer a cup of cold water, or tutor a child at an after-school program. It means we develop relationships and discern when it is time to talk about spiritual matters. Going is fed by a desire to experience firsthand God’s work in the lives of others, recognizing we are one instrument He is using. Go is different from Serve; Go is outside the church while Serve is inside.
