Our mission is to lead people into a transformative relationship with Jesus Christ—cultivating faith, fostering love, and inspiring lives fully devoted to Him. Through worship, teaching, and service, we seek to equip believers to live out their faith and share the hope of the Gospel in our community and beyond.

Connect

people to the Creator

Jesus calls us to live on the move—stepping beyond comfort, crossing boundaries, and carrying His message of hope to the world. Our connection to the Creator grows stronger as we go, sharing His love and teaching His truth to every heart we encounter. As He declared before returning to the Father, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…” (Matthew 28:19).

Grow

in faith

Knowing God’s Word—and applying it to everyday life—is essential for living with balance, purpose, and spiritual success. When we put Scripture into practice, we experience growth, strength, and direction in our walk with Christ. As the Bible declares, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).

Serve

all men

Discipleship is relected in serving others. True disciples of Jesus Christ cannot help but find ways to serve others. We are called to serve our church family and our community with the love of Christ.


"You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love." Galatians 5:13
