Mission:
We exist to help people develop an intimate relationship with God.

God
God is the One to whom all things point. He is our target! Everything is directed toward Him. The closer we get to Him, the more we value people. We know He values people because of the price He paid for them!
People
People are at the top of our priority list. We're all about people! When someone walks through our church door, we get excited and welcome that person with the love and kindness of God. There is a strong temptation in every church to become cliquish. This is a scheme of the enemy. God's desire is that "no one would perish, but that all would come to repentance" (2 Peter 3:9). The closer we get to God, the more people are on our hearts.
Help
Help refers to our desire to serve. Serving others is a blast! Serving is a magnet that draws people to Christ. We are born focused on ourselves; but as we get closer to God, we become more focused on serving and ministering to others.
Develop

Develop refers to the fact that we believe discipleship is a process. If we truly want to mature and grow as disciples of Christ, we need to faithfully attend services, Life Groups, and equipping classes.
Intimate

Intimate refers to worship and our commitment to God's Word. We believe in passionate worship where we experience and commune with God every time we worship corporately and individually! We believe that God has given His Word as our daily bread. Intimacy is strengthened and deepened through learning and receiving the Word.
Relationship

Relationship refers to grace, not law. We believe that God sent His Son so that we could be forgiven and have a relationship with Him. This experience should never be religious or lifeless, but an ongoing, living, and vital relationship!
