OUR VISION IS:
To see lives transformed by Jesus Christ, for the glory of God.
Romans 1:16,17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."
We desire to become more like Jesus, to have His heart become our heart, His will become our will. This transformation is made possible through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Change does not happen from the outside in, but from the inside out.
Transformation is possible by an encounter with God that includes both belief and surrender, an encounter that Jesus describes as being “born again.” It is an experience with the God of the Bible that makes Him forever Lord and Savior and makes us both His servant and worshipper. Our relationship with Him breaks the power of sin and self-centeredness that, up until this point, we could not have power over. ( Rom 12:1,2, Rom 8:29, Phi 1:6, 2Co 3:18) But God has so designed us that we could never do it alone.
We are linked together, and grow together, through the body of Christ.
1Cor 12:13,14 Rom 12:4,5, Phil 3:20,21, 1John 3:2

OUR MISSION IS:
Loving Jesus, Loving His Word, Loving People, as a way of life.
(1) Loving Jesus
Colossians 1:16-18 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
God the Father tells us that Jesus is preeminent, above all things. By exalting Jesus we exalt the Father.
John 14:6, John 1:1-3,14, John 14:9, John 16:23, Eph.1:22, Rev.2:4, John 5:23, Phil.2:9-1
(2) Loving His Word
Psalm 138:2 For You have magnified Your word above all Your name.
God has given us His word. He has declared who He is both through Jesus, the Word (John 1:1), and the Bible, His Word. The Word transcends every nation, culture, and generation. It is applicable for all time.
Mat 24:35, 1Pet 1:24,25, Heb.4:12, Eph.5, John 15, Psalm.119, 2Tim.3:16,17
(3) Loving people
Acts 2:42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
God desires us to fellowship with each other and for love to be at the heart of that fellowship.
Joh 13:34, Gal.6, Phil.2, Matt.12:50, Titus 2:14, Matt.28:30
