Our Mission
Our mission is to participate in the fulfillment of the Great Commission recorded in Matthew 28:19-20:
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Our Purpose
We believe it is our purpose as a church to help one another learn how to experience this personal relationship with God every moment of every day. Therefore, the goal of our effort is not on getting people to be religious by having them “come to church” or do “religious” things. Our goal is to assist people as they seek to live lifestyles that are pleasing to God in all their relationships. Church is a place to remind, instruct, inspire and encourage a growing personal relationship with God beyond the walls of the church.
