Mission Statement

We feel the call to build a multicultural church where the entire body is working together in unity to reflect and build the kingdom of God. "From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work." Ephesians 4:16 (NIV)

Every person is valuable, precious, and unique in the sight of God and has a special God given assignment to the body.

Our church works together in teams to be effective in ministry; using the gifts God has given each of us.

We will use all of God's methods effectively to engage people to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Every member should commit to a biblical lifestyle and consistent spiritual growth with honest accountability.

Every believer and member of this body has been called to be a servant of Jesus Christ and God has given them gifts to be used in the building of his kingdom in humble obedience as outlined in the full gospel of Jesus Christ.

Everything we do should foster loving and caring relationships to build the body of Christ.

We are committed to equipping and allowing the Holy Spirit to empower leaders who are fully committed to Jesus Christ to reach all generations.

We are committed to working with other bodies of believers to build the Kingdom of God.

We are looking forward to each person becoming a vital part of this church while building relationships and the Kingdom of God through outreach and new team ministries to be developed to expand the Kingdom of God.
