Vision

To establish a Biblically functioning community of totally devoted, equipped and active followers of Jesus

Mission

In order to build a community of people and assist them in becoming fully devoted, equipped and active followers of Jesus, we will incorporate the following purposes. To build this community, we will reach up in worship, reach out in service and story, reach in in community, and reach down in nurture

Reaching up – Worship
We are committed to turning to God first in worship, love and obedience. We show this commitment by meeting together regularly, by seeking God individually, and by radically obeying the true God. Each member of this community has a unique and vital role in offering heart-liberating worship and glorifying God.

Reaching out - Service and Story
We are passionate about reaching out to those who do not know God. We are convinced that our care and service toward the community in which we live is an agent for redemption and a catalyst to conversion. We will seek the prosperity and well-being of our community. As well as service, we will endeavor to speak of the life-changing activity of God in each of our lives and do whatever it takes to move people into a relationship with Jesus and each other

Reaching in - Community
We seek to develop deep and meaningful relationships with one another in authentic Christian love. We will integrate people into small cell groups and reduce the isolation most of the world experiences today.

Reaching down - Nurture
We must take time to constantly nurture ourselves, and constantly grow. It is crucial to remain teachable and open to all God has for us. We choose to acquire new skills, spend time listening to God, and improving our relationships. We choose to come constantly under God's Word. We minister and mentor Together.

Statement of Faith

We believe in God as eternal Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God created and sustains the universe. The eternal purpose of God the Father is to create a people who will bring glory to God forever. God alone is worthy of worship.

We believe that God became human in Jesus Christ. Jesus came to restore the world because humans have rejected God in disobedience. Jesus taught and modeled the way of God’s kingdom. He died on the cross, making it possible for us to accept a renewed relationship with God. He rose from the dead, broke the power of sin and death, and frees us to live in obedience to God’s will.

We believe that God the Holy Spirit invites all people to be reconciled with God and to join the global family of faith. Believers confess their faith, are baptized, and join in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper. Through the power of the Holy Spirit and guided by the Bible, members of the church seek to live as followers of Christ and invite others to experience this new life.

As Christians we are called to turn:

• from ignorance of God to a personal relationship with God
  
• from bondage of sin and past mistakes to freedom, forgiveness, and healing
  
• from individualism to interdependence with others in the local church
  
• from lifestyle choices that harm us, others, and the earth to choices that nurture wholeness, healing, joy and peace
  
• from hating enemies and ignoring neighbours to showing love and justice to all
  
• from loving possessions to sharing with all in need
  
• from aimless existence to a mission of representing and proclaiming God’s kingdom on earth.
  
  

As Christians we look forward to the day when God will once again send Jesus to bring all things under God’s eternal rule.
