The Mission
We exist to invite and equip people to follow Jesus Christ by engaging them in the life and mission of the local church. (Matthew 28:19-20)
The Vision
To create environments and seize opportunities to share the message and love of Christ with others and help them grow in their commitment to God, conformity to Jesus, community with believers, and compassion for nonbelievers. (Matthew 22:37-40 & 1 John 3:2-3).
Our tag line, “Connecting Faith & Life,” offers a simple reminder of our greater vision.
