Vision and Mission
Our Vision is to be a well-connected church by consistently and collectively engaging in behaviors, like those of the First Century Church, which connect us to God, to Christ, to His work and to one another. Stated succinctly, we aspire to be a church where the following behaviors characterize and permeate our congregational culture:
​
Worshiping Genuinely: We aspire for our worship to be sincere and fully in accord with the New Testament precedent
Engaging in The Work of the Church: We encourage every member to couple faith with work in Christ’s kingdom. We are structured to facilitate a culture of involvement.
Loving One Another: Our aim is to foster an environment of love among us which will build our common bonds and emulate the behavior that Christ expects of us.
Studying God’s Word: Our desire is to be a church where all members habitually study God’s Word in classes and in personal study to come to know God and to be molded in the image of Christ.
Leading Others to Christ: We aspire to be a church where every member is equipped and active in influencing others to obey the gospel of Christ.
Impacting the Community: We intend to be a positive impact on our community by serving benevolently, compassionately and competently to enhance the lives of those we serve just as Christ would.
Our Mission is to be acceptable to God in bringing to reality God’s Word through Edification, Evangelism and Benevolence. These three elements of this mission are consistent with the practices of the first century church.
Edification is our resolve to equip, support and nurture members of the church so they will be strong Christians and well-balanced members of society.
Evangelism embodies our obligation to teaching God’s Word and thereby lead others to obey the gospel of Christ.
Benevolence is our commitment to care for those who need our help with the necessities of life as Christ did.

We structure our ministry and program objectives to be aligned with our vision and mission.
