Mission:
We invite people to know Christ by:

We build up people’s faith by:

Focusing on becoming a builder of godly people by discipling the believers. We will focus on becoming effective at teaching radical discipleship, emphasizing worship, prayer, private devotions, and other spiritual disciplines.
Emphasizing the importance of family relationships, in the home and at the church. We will build a Christ-centered community emphasizing loving relationships, accountability, and genuine concern for one another.
Developing strong youth and young adult ministries seeking to connect with area college students.
Meeting regularly to worship God. While perfection is not our goal, we will spare no effort to provide excellence in our worship settings. God is honored by our efforts. The worship experienced will be enhanced by the use of tools such as sound enhancement, lighting, and visual aides. Every tool and talent available will be used to provide opportunities for worship worthy of the God and Savior we serve.
We will equip people for ministry by:
Providing training and hands-on experiences for each person to learn how to serve and minister in Christ’s name.
