Missions

“Be My Witnesses” 

Acts 1:8 

Purpose Statement:
We strive to be a Great Commission church with a passion to see a lost world introduced to the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Vision Statement:
Everything we do comes back to leading people to know, love, and follow Jesus. For us, the mission field starts in our parking lot and continues to the ends of the earth.

Jesus gives us some straightforward and strategic guidelines to expand His Kingdom. First, the Great Commission of Matthew 28:18-20, commands us “to go and make disciples of all nations,” and secondly, in Acts 1:8, Jesus tells us we are to be His witnesses in “Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.” Following the pattern of Acts 1:8, we provide focused opportunities for our congregation to reach our Jerusalem (local community), Judea (state), Samaria (nation), and the Ends of the Earth (world).
