We are a community of people who are committed to following Jesus Christ with our whole lives, and who are also called to love and serve each other, the communities around us and the whole world. Our vision can be summarized in 5 words… Connect. Grow. Heal. Unleash. Reach. Expanding on each one, we exist to…

 

To CONNECT people to Christ and His Community

“All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.” Acts 2:43-47

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.” Luke 4:17-19 NRSV (Isaiah 61)

To look outward and REACH people with the love, power & truth of Christ

“Come and see a man who told me everything I have ever done! He cannot be the Messiah, can he?” John 4:29 NRSV
