Our Mission

We believe our job as the church of Jesus Christ is to
transform our world with God’s Word…one life at a time.

Our mission is based on the Great Commission – “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19-20).

We seek to accomplish this goal by focusing ministry efforts locally, nationally, and internationally through four key strategies: worship, equip, serve, and influence.


Next Steps
