MISSION

Jesus proclaims,

Matthew 28:18-20

18And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Matthew 22:37-39 37

And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38This is the great and first commandment. 39And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

Acts 1:8 8

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

We express theses passages in a simple but profound mission statement:

Mission Statement for Website

In scripture we see followers of Jesus worshipping Jesus with their lives, making disciples, and multyplying (planting churches that plant churches and disciples that make disciples). 

Simply put, we want God’s mission to be our mission.

We believe the commission that Jesus has given to all of us is to be a disciple and make disciples of all nations for God’s glory. We desire to see people of all ages, races, and social status engaging in an authentic genuine relationship with Jesus locally, nationally, and globally.
