Our mission is to be a community that lives out God’s love and intentions for humanity revealed in Jesus Christ by:
- Inviting people to explore a journey with Christ;
- Welcoming those new to the journey;
- Nurturing those on the journey;
And throughout the journey transforming our lives, our community, and the world.
Our Vision Statement
(Our dreams for the future; what we hope to become.)
Grounded in a deep relationship with Jesus Christ, as individuals and a community, we strive to live whole and integrated lives that:
- Mature in spirit by being open to the Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit in all aspects of our lives;
- Grow in body by sharing our story of faith in relevant, meaningful, and bold ways; and by inviting others to explore the possibilities that Christ offers to the world;
- Fulfill our mandate to love our neighbor by living out God’s healing, peace, and justice with and for the poor, oppressed, and suffering around the world;
- Impact the development of our surrounding community by engaging in spirit-led leadership;
And, through it all, experience the measurable and immeasurable transformative power of God.
