Vision & Values
Who We Are
​
​
Vision
Our vision is to be a church where people discover what God can do in and through our lives as we practice the way of Jesus together.
​
Mission
Our mission is teach, train, and release regular people into the extraordinary work of helping to build God’s Kingdom here and now.
​
Values
God: We value God above all things. We believe that God is absolutely good, right, just and fair….and that He truly loves people.
Scriptures: We value God’s Word…and that when taken in its entirety, it tells the story of a God who loves His world so much that He died to rescue it.
Prayer: We value prayer; It is the way to sustain, maintain and deepen our walk in God’s Kingdom. Growth comes through a sustained and discipled prayer life.
People: All people are made in God’s image, are loved by God to the death, and therefore capable of extraordinarily good things. We take people seriously and treat them lovingly.
Place: God’s Kingdom comes to us here and now. There is something sacred about where God has placed each of us.
Generosity: We have been given much from God and are therefore generous to Him and others: time, talent and treasure.
