Mission Statement
Loving God
Our vertical relationship with our Heavenly Father is of utmost importance. We want to obey Him as our King, Worship Him as our LORD, and follow Him as our Savior. Jesus Christ came to earth as the perfect embodiment of love. He showed the ultimate act of love by dying on a cross to pay the penalty we deserved for our sin. We love God because He loves us. God always moves first in love. Loving God means giving not just part, but all of our lives to Him in total surrender.

Loving People
The second greatest command is to love others. We are told that love does no harm to others. In fact, love seeks the highest good for others. We are commanded to show love to all, regardless of ethnicity, gender, social status, or ability. Knowing that God has loved us so greatly, even when we were opposed to Him, allows us to love others with that same type of love. His love fills us up and overflows to those around us. Because God loves us, we can love others.

Restoring the World One Person at a Time Through Christ
The great commission by Christ is to go and make disciples of all peoples. When we have been transformed by the love of Jesus, we should be bursting at the seams to go share the good news with anyone who will listen. God wants to use us as part of His plan to save humanity.
