Philosohpy of ministy part 2

Core Values
Biblically based:
Jesus Christ established the church to bring love and grace to the people of this world. We take seriously the truths found in His word and share them as they are presented in the Bible

Missional Minded:
Church is molded after the human development, for Christ called her the bride. So as a new church is birthed it should grow to maturity and reproduce. We are committed to that example.

Authentic Relationships:
When God’s people experience Acts 2 community, the church is an unstoppable force. When REAL community takes place you see the strength of one man helping the weakness of another.

Inspiring Gathering:
We believe the creative arts come together in the form of worship, music, relevant teaching, drama and more to create an irresistible environment for life change

Family Unit:
We feel that God has called us to strategically reach, grow, and teach our children and students. From training them in character growth to interaction with the entire family to just having fun

Philosohpy of ministy part 1

I wanted to start by saying we are still unsure on the name and logo. Once that is settled will have a grand unveiling.

Vision: Drawing people one step closer to Christ

no matter where you are in life, whither far from Christ or been walking with him. Our vision is to take you one step closer to Him.

Mission: Connecting people to Christ while equipping them to serve the world around them.

DNA: Connect Equip Serve

Everything we do will have these three elements working in unison. Not one without the other two.
