Our Mission

 

 

As a church belonging to Jesus Christ, we exist to reflect God’s heart of love for all people, inviting all into the new life and hope God offers through Jesus.

 

“This is how God showed his love for us: He sent his only Son into the world that we might live through him...We love because he loved us first.”  

1 John 4:9, 19

 

Breaking Down the Mission

 

 

A church belonging to Jesus Christ

We begin with Jesus Christ, God’s eternal Son! He is the source of forgiveness and power to live life to the full in loving communion with God through the Holy Spirit living in us.

 

"…Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! 

Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, 'Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.'” (When he said “living water,’’ he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him)."

John 7:37, 38

 

Reflecting God’s heart of love for all people

As we grow in new life in Christ, he renews our hearts and relationships and uniquely gifts us to serve and bless others from the overflow of God’s love in us.

 

“Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Christ’s body. We are many parts of one body, and we all belong to each other. In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well.”

Romans 12:4-6

 

Inviting all into the new life and hope God offers through Jesus

Jesus calls his followers to announce and demonstrate the good news that God offers new life and hope to everyone, no matter who, through His death and resurrection.

 

"Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Matthew 28:16-20
