Our Mission:
Glorify God, Multiply Disciples, Edify the Church
Glorify
This is our upward focus to glorify God through love developed in personal and corporate worship of Him. This desire to glorify God in all we do starts with a heart of love for God. We as a church cultivate that motivating love for God through worship that keeps the greatness and love of God fresh in our hearts and minds.
For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again. (II Corinthians 5:14-15)
Multiply
This is our outward focus to multiply disciples through practicing each step of the Great Commission. The steps of the Great Commission are simple yet profoundly important: Go, Baptize, and Teach. We Go by sharing the Gospel with our community and world. We Baptize those that trust Jesus as their Savior. We Teach believers how to grow in their new life with Jesus Christ.
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. (Matthew 28:18-20)
Edify
This is our inward focus to edify the church through every member using their gifts to serve one another. Edify simply means to build up. We as a church make it a priority to intentionally equip each member so they can effectively and joyfully serve one another.
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ—from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love. (Ephesians 4:11-16)
