Our Values

Kingdom Expansion.

Partnering with the Holy Spirit to see the Kingdom of God triumph throughout our world. Based on the “great commission” given by Jesus in Matthew 28:16-20, we are to spread the good news of Jesus to the ends of the earth, making disciples of all nations.

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them.  And when they saw him they worshiped him, but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” — Matthew 28:16-20 ESV

Personal Growth.

Enriching people’s lives by enhancing their spiritual, physical, and emotional development so that they may best glorify God as they enjoy the abundant life found in Jesus Christ.

Individual Significance.

Recognizing that each person is created in the image of God, we embrace each person’s value and uniqueness.

Generous Living.

Blessing others by radically sharing the gifts God has graciously given us.
