Believing that Jesus Christ has given to us His plan for this church, it is our dream of becoming:
•A worshiping people:
A people who whole-heartedly desire to love and to praise the Only True God so that His Name will be exalted.
•A praying people:
A people who, through prayer, wholly depend upon God’s grace to live transformed lives and to move forward as a church that brings blessing to others.
•A church of open doors and open hearts:
A church where each of us is boldly reaching out to those around us with the Good News so that thousands will come to know Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.
•A place that makes a difference for families:
A place that provides a full range of family focused programs including exciting and comprehensive children and youth ministries so that families can grow stronger and those struggling with brokeness can find hope in Jesus Christ.
•A church where lives are changed:
A church where all of us can grow in our likeness to the Savior and in our knowledge of the Bible through an active Sunday
school, a wide variety of small groups, a well equipped resource center and life-transforming preaching and teaching so that we can live lives pleasing to God.
•A united body:
A local body of Christ that is wholesome and vibrant, where every individual and each gift is cherished and nurtured, where, by loving and learning, praying and working, together we become servants who find fullness and maturity in Christ.
•A church of world-minded Christians:
A church that is actively involved in the global drama of God’s work- supporting, training and sending missionaries who will help to bring the gospel to every nation.
•A church of concerned Christians:
A church working to relieve suffering among the poor, the weak and the sick and challenging injustice and inspiring righteousness in our community.
•A dynamic church:
It is the dream of welcoming a steady stream of families into our fellowship that will make us bulge at the seams and challenge us to grow and expand and innovate.
And by God’s grace this dream will become a reality as we join hands together and move ahead with vision, hope and joy, so that our families, our neighborhoods, schools and workplaces will be indelibly changed by the presence of the Savior.
