Mission
Know God. Love God.
Serve God.
Vision Statement
We are followers of
Jesus Christ who strive to know God, love God and serve God by serving
others.
Worship: Our worship
services are meaningful and relevant. Insightful sermons, heartfelt prayer and
inspiring music leave worshipers feeling refreshed, renewed and recommitted to
their faith.
Discipleship: We provide
learning opportunities for people of all ages to enrich their lives and help
them grow as disciples of Jesus Christ. We nurture the young, teaching them of
God’s awesome power and abiding love, the life and teachings of Jesus and the
rich history of God’s people. We offer stimulating classes for adult enrichment
as well, including Bible study and discussion groups.
Service: We serve as the
hands and feet of Christ, going where there is need and doing God’s work. We
build relationships with the people we serve. We find transformational
experiences often occur for those who serve as well as those who are
served. Our church provides many
opportunities to help individuals identify, develop and use their gifts for the
glory of God and service to others.
Fellowship: Our church community
offers a wide variety of activities and events that bring people together for
fellowship. Participants build authentic relationships and find a sense of
belonging. We work and worship together. We serve and celebrate together. We
sing and pray and learn and laugh, all of us on life’s journey together.
Core values
Spiritual Practices
Spiritual practices ground us in faith, help us grow closer to God and strengthen our community of faith. These practices include Bible reading, study, prayer, worship, the sacraments of Holy Communion and baptism, service, generosity and hospitality.
Invitation
Invitation brings more people to God. We intentionally and regularly invite the community at large to join us in programs, services, activities and events. We welcome the diversity of humankind.
Active Service
We follow Jesus’ compassionate example of helping those in need. Our church makes available service opportunities both locally and globally where people of all ages, abilities and interests can use their energy and talents to help make the world a better place. Our desire to serve others comes naturally from our understanding of God: The more we learn, the greater our conviction that God calls us to help others.
