Core Values & Mission Statements
Mission Statement
We exist to encounter and worship God, boldly proclaim His Word, and bring hope and healing to our community. We serve together with Jesus on the greatest mission in the history of the world.
Core Values
We don’t just attend church — we are the church.
We pursue the Holy Spirit, where worship ignites transformation, and every encounter with God
changes us from the inside out. We come expecting to encounter God and to be transformed by
His presence.
The Bible is our foundation, and obedience is our response.
We choose to stand for biblical truth in the world. We boldly live by God’s Word, standing on His
truth and allowing it to shape every part of our lives and culture.
Everyone is called; everyone is gifted; everyone is sent.
We multiply disciples, intentionally investing in others so the Kingdom of God expands — one
life, one family, one generation at a time.
We pray like it matters — because it does.
Prayer isn’t our last resort; it’s our first move, our daily source of power, and our lifeline to the
Father’s heart.
Love isn’t something we say — it’s how we live.
We build intentional, life-giving relationships that reflect the love of Jesus and bring hope to our
neighbors and communities.
Here — no one walks alone.
We open doors — and our hearts — to be a place of healing, restoration, and grace for the
broken, the hurting, and the searching.
We honor every generation and grow deeper by walking side by side.
We are a family of all ages and backgrounds, united in Christ and growing stronger together.
