WHO WE ARE
OUR MISSION
Together, we are a community of believers. What does the word community mean, exactly? We believe that together in fellowship we grow closer to God and one another. The Bible speaks about iron sharpening iron (Proverbs 27:17). We believe that together we grow stronger. We are a community of believers.
OUR VISION
To "Bring Healing To A Broken World." We desire to be a church like from the book of Acts, to see our city and our local community changed by the transforming power of Christ.
OUR VALUES
We highly value our relationships with one another. We look to grow through fellowship, and ultimately grow closer to God. We value the word of God, and the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We look to extend grace to all of the lost and broken, and lead those with no hope to the hope of Jesus Christ.
