Our Vision

We believe that God is calling us to focus our mission and witness on helping ourselves and others discover and develop deeper and healthier spiritual lives, recognizing that we may need to include physical and emotional concerns as well.

We also recognize that spiritual needs vary according to one’s life circumstances (age, family setting, culture, etc.) Therefore, we will develop a variety of ways of promoting, teaching, and fostering healthy spiritual living among the people of our congregation and in the community.

Our Mission

And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 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, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

Matthew 28:19-20
