MinistriesOur To Do ListAs we Make Disciples of Jesus Christ who are Growing Upward and Inward by Reaching Out - No Excuses we understand that while there are a host of valuable endeavors we can undertake, there are some things that we must do as a community on Mission: 1.

Making disciples is a part of our Mission and purpose for existence. Our intention is to develop disciples who demonstrate the Character and Competencies of Jesus Christ as they usher in the Kingdom of God both in this place and to the ends of the earth. We strive to develop disciples (Adults, Youth, and Children) who put into practice the behaviors of Jesus Christ as they walk along the road in their daily life! (Deuteronomy 6:4-9 & Philippians 4:8-9) |

Jesus shared in Acts 1 that we are to be his “witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth”. As disciples of Jesus Christ we not only Grow Upward & Inward in our Covenant Relationship with God and with others ... we also need to be Growing Outward as we embrace our Kingdom Responsibility in loving our neighbors both here in our local community all the way to the very ends of the earth. |

Worship is a Lifestyle - not an event. As we gather together in worship we enter an environment in which we seek to refine our heart to the heart of the Father. It is a time during which we reframe our daily reality by telling and re-telling the story of God's saving history with us (Covenant / Relationship). And it is a time to grow in our understanding of who we are as a "Sent people" of God into the world as ambassadors of Jesus Christ (Kingdom / Responsibility). |
