Our Mission 

We have ONE mission—to make faithful disciples of Jesus Christ.
 

Our Vision

To be a Christ-centered family of Believers where lives are transformed, disciples are equipped, and the love of Jesus reaches every generation, community, and nation.
 

Our Core Values 

 
1. The Glory of God:

Everything we do as a Church — our worship, mission, community life, and service—should point to our glorious God. (1 Cor. 10:31)

2. Love:

Jesus said that the greatest commandment is to love God and that the second is to love people. He said that the entirety of the Law and Prophets hangs on these two commandments. (Matthew 22:37-40)

3. Grace:

Grace is understood as God’s unearned favor—His love and salvation given freely, not because we deserve it, but because of His character and mercy.

Jesus is at the center of grace. We are a grace focused church who continually points people to what Christ has done. A grace-centered church avoids legalism—the idea that following strict rules or traditions makes one right with God. (Ephesians 2:8-9)

4. Biblical Teaching:

We believe that the Bible is the inspired word of God making it the ultimate authority for what we believe and how we live. Biblical teaching helps us grow in our faith, equips us to discern right from wrong, and aids us in developing Christ-like character. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

5. Fellowship:

Fellowship creates a sense of family — a spiritual home where people feel seen, supported, and valued. We believe that the Church is a Faith Family and that the more time we spend together in fellowship, the stronger our bond to one another becomes. (Hebrews 10:24-25)

6. Christ-Centeredness:

We believe that Jesus is the cornerstone. The Bible teaches that the Church is built on Christ. Without Him, it loses its identity and authority. The core message of Christianity is the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. A church that drifts from Christ risks distorting or abandoning the Gospel entirely. (Ephesians 2:20)

7. Prayer:

Prayer is the lifeline between God and His people. It deepens our relationship with Him, aligns us with His will, and invites His presence into everything we do as a church. When a church prays together, it builds spiritual unity and love among its members. (Jeremiah 33:3, 1 Thessalonians 5:17).

8. Unity in Diversity:

We seek unity in diversity; therefore, encourage individuals from different    denominational backgrounds to become part of our church, but not to major on secondary doctrines and practices. We are open to reasonable changes in our church methods because we are willing to sacrifice our preferences to reach outsiders. (Galatians 3:28)

9. Evangelism:

We as a church recognize that people are searching for meaning, hope, and truth. Evangelism brings the message of salvation, forgiveness, and eternal life to a world in need. We seek to reach as many people in our community and world for Christ as possible. We are a world mission church focused on the Great Commission. (Acts 1:8, Matthew 28:19-20)

10. Service:

Christian service is at the heart of what it means to follow Christ. Service reflects God’s love in practical ways. When we as a church serve others—through feeding the hungry, visiting the sick, or helping the poor, or ministering to fellow Believers within the church—it shows the world what God’s love looks like in action. (Mark 10:45, John 13:14-15)

We have FIVE functions:
1. Worship—Worshiping God daily
2. Fellowship—Encouraging one another in our faith family
3. Evangelism—Reaching out to new people
4. Discipleship–Helping each other grow spiritually
5. Ministry–Serving others in practical ways
 

We expect FOUR results:
1. Numerical Growth
2. Spiritual Transformation
3. Ministry Development
4. Kingdom Advance

We select strategic ministries to transform lives, our community and world:
1. Open Sunday morning worship
2. Open Bible study groups
3. Advance Bible study groups
4. Ministry teams that touch our community
5. Ministry teams that support our church

Think About This…

 
Matthew 28:19–20 (ESV)
“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”
 
This passage reminds us that the heart of a Christ-centered family is rooted in Jesus’ Great Commission. As we are transformed by His grace, we are called to equip one another in discipleship and to carry His love beyond ourselves—to every generation, our communities, and ultimately the nations. The promise of His presence gives us both the courage and the assurance that this vision is not only possible, but certain, as we remain centered on Christ.
