The purpose and mission of
Further, we pray for a Church that reflects the same kind of dynamics that launched the first church in Acts, where the people experienced such a powerful transformation by the love of Christ and the indwelling of His Spirit that they could not go back to their old ways of life. (Acts 2:42-47)
Our desire is to be a place in which the worship of God and loving community can freely develop. Our experience is that from this flows life transformation and a lifestyle of serving others.
The “Big Four” ministry emphases of the Church are summarized in four statements:
1. Worship of God – happens as we experience the awe of God’s presence, hearing from and responding to Him;
2. Loving Community – happens as people of all ages and backgrounds find a deep sense of connection, belonging, and acceptance in Christ;
3. Life Transformation – is celebrated as people together navigate the planned and unplanned chapters of their lives and jump into the stream of the Christian life; and
4. Serving Others – comes naturally as people embrace their own giftedness and calling and network with others to connect with what God is doing in our world.
