OUR MISSION
Our mission is to “Call All People to Spiritual Growth in Christ Jesus.” This mission statement is derived from the Apostle Paul’s introductory words found in his letter to the Romans:
“Through him and for his name’s sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ.” (Romans 1:5-6)
VISION
Spiritual Growth in Christ Jesus requires us to be faithful in using our resources and energy in the process of discipling all people (Matthew 28:18–20).
Our chief responsibilities are:
To equip and train God’s people for the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11–13)
so that unbelievers are won to Christ,
—believers are personally growing and actively engaged in ministry,
—and new leadership is constantly emerging (2 Timothy 2:1–2).
Reduced to one word, the issue is Transformation—
—of the curious into the convinced,
—of the convinced into the committed,
—of the committed into co‑laborers.
Our Core Purposes
As a church, an already-formed body of disciples, we strive to . . .
Exalt the Lord through vital worship expressions. Worship: To glorify God is why we were created.
