MISSION STATEMENT
“To see people transformed into fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.”




Our purpose of our church can be captured in two key scriptures:

The Great Commandment:
“Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these tow commandments hang all the law and the prohets.” - Matthew 22:36-40

The Great Commission:
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” - Matthew 28:19-20



· To “Love your God with all your heart” is “WORSHIP.”
· To “Love your neighbor as yourself” is “MINISTRY.”
· To “Go…make disciples” is “EVANGELISM.”
· To “Baptize…” is to “INCORPORATE INTO THE FELLOWSHIP.”
· To “Teach them…all things” is “DISCIPLESHIP.”
