our mission
To lead people to experience an ever-increasing love for Jesus Christ and for one another.
We are all about loving relationships! Jesus said that you could sum up the entire Bible (and all of life) in basically two simple phrases: Love God; Love people. That's it! It's all about relationship---an intimate relationship with God through Jesus Christ that overflows into loving relationships with people. It's profoundly simple!
How do we define success in our mission?
We know when we've hit a home run and are succeeding in our mission when people are actively pursuing what we like to call the THREE VITAL RELATIONSHIPS:
When a person is growing in all three of these relationships simultaneously, we are winning as a team! This is the basic picture of a growing, devoted follower of Jesus. These are the three vital relationships we passionately pursue!◊ Intimacy with God
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” Mark 12:30
◊ Community with one another
“. . . we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way more and more like Christ, who is the head of his body, the church. He makes the whole body fit together perfectly. As each part does its own special work, it helps the other parts grow, so that the whole body is healthy and growing and full of love." Ephesians 4:15-16
◊ Influence with the world
“ . . . let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16
