MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the church is to maintain an ongoing ministry to the members, the community, and the world, while reaching out to those in need of the grace of the gospel of Jesus Christ and to those who have physical, emotional, and spiritual need to be met.

The church is to help people experience the presence of God through worship, the study of the Scriptures, sharing our faith stories, and spiritual journeys with one another.

The church exists to develop, support, and nurture its members through participation in spiritual growth, discipleship, education, stewardship, outreach and leadership training.
