Mission:
please God in worship:
Jesus said, “True worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth.” (John 4:23). To worship in spirit and truth, we need the right heart: humble, grateful, loving, repentant, obedient, and committed to trust in Him. We also need the right mind and actions, guided by the writings in the Bible with God’s teachings as our authority and the early church that Jesus established as our blueprint. (2 Peter 1:20-21; 2 Timothy 3:16-17).
“Let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire.” (Hebrews 12:28-29)

bear one another's burdens:
Paul wrote, “Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2). In addition to praising God in our worship, we’re here to support each other, to build each other up, and to challenge and encourage each other to make God our first priority, to press on through trials, to stay strong in temptation, and to keep Heaven as our goal.
“Let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another all the more as you see the day drawing near.” (Hebrews 10:24-25)

reach the lost:
So many today might not even know about Jesus or that He died to save them. If they have heard about Jesus, they might not understand why He did the things He did or why He died for us to give us the hope of salvation. We want to share that good news with as many people as possible. Jesus said, “I am the Way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.” (John 14:6). It’s our sincere desire to help people find Jesus and be a reflection of Him and His love.
“For I am not ashamed of the good news about Jesus, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes.” (Romans 1:16a).
