Our Vision Statement
We exist to declare and demonstrate the good news to our neighbors by using gospel hospitality to introduce burden-laden people to the burden-bearing Jesus and thus see others wholly following the crucified Christ and living out the hope of the Gospel.
God gives his church a mission — to love him and others, testify to his salvation to the ends of the earth, and makes disciples, among other things. But the way that each local church fulfills that mission differs in the exact means and processes utilized. These means and processes utilized differ among local churches because of the unique mixture of peoples and backgrounds present in the church.
As a local church, we want others to experience the joy of the Lord’s salvation and the tremendous blessing of knowing and living for God. Since we know the joy of following the Lord Jesus Christ, we want others to experience that same joy. As a church, we want to see people from every nation, nationality, tribe, family, and language following Christ, regardless of background.
A key means that we use to accomplish this is gospel hospitality. We want others to experience the love and mercy of God in our presence as we care for people and help bear their burdens. This hospitality also gives us an opportunity to proclaim the Lord Jesus Christ as the reason for our hospitality and the source of salvation from sin and eternal life with God.
