Our Purpose & Mission


PURPOSE STATEMENT

 The purpose of our church is summarized in a single sentence based on two key Scriptures:  

"WE BELIEVE A GREAT COMMITMENT TO THE GREAT COMMANDMENT AND THE GREAT COMMISSION WILL GROW A GREAT CHURCH !"  

The Great Commandment: "Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' {38} This is the first and greatest commandment. {39} And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' {40} All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."  (Mat 22:36-40 NIV)  

The Great Commission: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, {20} and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."  (Mat 28:19-20 NIV) 

  •  To "Love God with all your heart" is WORSHIP.

  •  To "Love your neighbor as yourself" is MINISTRY.

  •  To "Go and make disciples" is EVANGELISM.

  •  To "Baptize" is to INCORPORATE THEM INTO FELLOWSHIP.

  •  To "teach them" is DISCIPLESHIP.
