Our Purpose
And Jesus came and spake unto them saying, "All power is given unto me in heaven and earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the Holy Ghost." -- Matthew 28:18-19

Our purpose is to honor and glorify God by spreading the good news of Jesus Christ and by discipling those that God saves for the work of the ministry.

Our Vision
Just as families have various characteristics and traits that make them unique, so do churches. It is our desire to develop a character within our church that is honoring to our Lord and is conducive to healthy spiritual growth. We have developed a vision statement that we believe embodies the character of our church: To be diligent in The Word, delightful in our worship and determined in our walk. It is in the spirit of this statement that we seek to minister to the Body of Christ.

• To Be Diligent In The Word
We are, without reservation, committed to the belief that the Bible is the Word of God. It is our conviction that diligence in The Word needs to be reflected, not only in the teaching and preaching ministry, but also in the everyday lives of our people. Diligence in the Word provides a knowledge of The Truth that produces freedom. This freedom provides a confidence that allows our church the flexibility to change the means of ministry in order to be culturally relevant and yet remain true to the message of the Bible. The principles of the Bible are timeless and are applicable to all people of all ages; therefore, it can, and must be presented in a manner that is relevant to the culture.

• To Be Delighted In Our Worship
There are two aspects of this statement. First of all, we want our worship to be a delight to our God, secondly we want our worship to be a delightful experience for the worshippers. In order to accomplish this we endeavor to create an atmosphere where the focus is upon the majesty and wonder of God and where believers would respond to Him fervently and with reverence. We want to encourage the people of our church not to limit their worship to the church services but to develop personal devotional lives that are a part of their everyday existence.

• To Be Determined In Our Walk
We want the activities of our ministry to be deliberate and purposeful. We must constantly be evaluating our activities and programs to ensure they are effectively communicating the worthiness of our God and meeting the changing needs of people. We seek to enflame the hearts of God's people with a passion for His will. We believe this is the highest motivation for a determined Christian walk. It is upon this basis that we seek the lost, both in our own neighborhood and through the support of missions and missionaries around the world. We also want to be determined in our care for one another. We are endeavoring to provide a small group ministry that will enable people to get to know one another on a level that will be conducive to the accomplishment of the "one another" commands of the New Testament.
