Our mission is to spread the Good News to our community and to the world VISION We are a group of believers who, solely through faith have fully embraced the Good News that Jesus Christ comes to sinners to carry away our burdens and our sins and to raise us up into new life. We gather together as a fellowship to worship and praise the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, to hear the Biblical Word of God in the midst of the world’s brokenness, to receive the the body and blood of Our Savior and to encourage and pray for each other and for all peoples as we learn to live as members of the body of Christ while fully embedded in the world. Freed of our sinful selves, the evil forces of the world and death, we gladly accept the commission of Jesus Christ to share this message of Good News with our neighbors, those nearby and those in far off places, and we train and equip our members to be disciples of and servants to the world, each according to his/her talents and abilities, in order to advance the Kingdom of God. Following the model of Jesus, we go out of our way to encourage and to welcome strangers into our fellowship, regardless of who they are or what roads they have traveled. All of us together serve as a single priesthood of believers in loving, serving, and obeying our gracious and ever-loving God. We anxiously await the resurrection of the dead and dwelling forever in our Father’s house, the place prepared for us by our Lord. |
