Mission :

We believe that according to Matthew 28:18-20
we are on mission for Christ.

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore 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. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." NIV

Our Mission Is To:

Glorify the Lord
By honoring Him with lives that are wholly committed to Christ. (1Corinthians 6:20)
By serving Him together with a singleness of heart. (Romans 15:6)
By openly, faithfully, and publicly confessing Jesus Christ as Lord. (Philippians 2:9-11)
We will strive to glorify God in all we think, say and do. (Colossians 3:17)

Grow the Saints
By instruction and training in the Word of God and encouragement for each member to identify and utilize fully their own spiritual giftedness so the body, the church may be edified and may grow into the fullness of the person of Jesus Christ. (Ephesians 4:12-16)
We will strive to grow the saints in all we think, say and do. (Colossians 3:17)

Go After the Lost
By acknowledging the mandate of Jesus for us to "go out quickly" because time is of the essence; to "go out into" the streets and lanes and highways and hedges; and to "go out compelling" people to come to Christ. (Luke 14:15-25)
We will strive to go after the lost in all we think, say and do. (Colossians 3:17)
