Mission Statement
We desire to be an intimate church that follows Jesus to reproduce new churches that follow Jesus.
We Envision:
A church where people know each other well and demonstrate that they belong to Jesus by their love for one another.
- Where a sense of community is maintained by planting new churches as we approach 200 regular worshipers.
- Where at least 80% of regular worshipers belong to a small group and experience a real sense of closeness - a place of sharing, a place of honesty, a place of prayer, a place of growth.
- Where, through Christ, the spiritual, physical and emotional needs of the Body are met by members of the Body.
- Where we come together to pray, to share, and to give testimonies.
- Where the Gospel is proclaimed from both the pulpit and our lives.
- Where our Lord is honored through music and heartfelt praise.
- Where at least 80% of regular worshipers (adults and children) are tithing - and the rest are new believers, learning the principles of giving.
- Where our children's Sunday School systematically covers key Bible concepts from Genesis to Revelation every three years.
- Where adults read their Bibles every day and see Christ as more desirable than the fascinations of this world.
- Where individuals learn Biblical principles from the pulpit and from each other, and apply those principles, daily, in their lives.
- Where we hold each other accountable through our small groups and our friendships.
- Where the congregation consists of at least 10% new believers - less than one year old in their faith.
- Where a new Jesus-following church is reproduced every three years by sending out people from our own congregation.
- Where the congregation is known for supporting and sending missionaries into service both in the United States and abroad.
