Vision Statement
Loving, Living, and Leading
by the Word of God
Phil. 2:1-5 ~ (LOVING) If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. (LIVING) Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. (LEADING) Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
Always seeking to discern the most effective way to draw people to our church, introduce them to Jesus, and then disciple them toward maturity (1Cor. 9:19-23).
We are a diverse community of individuals, each actively seeking to make
Christ’s example of God’s love for every person real in our church, community, and world through service, study, worship and giving:
​
- Risking with innovation while honoring tradition. - Standing with those who suffer. - Loving unconditionally.
