Purpose and Mission

Purpose: Our reason for being is to glorify God.  We exist to show His greatness to our world.

This statement of purpose reminds us of why we are here.  We are here for the glory of God.  In other words, we exist so that others may see and feel and love the glory of our Creator.  Implied in our purpose is a point that has grown in momentum over the last decade, a point that states:  It’s not about us!

Mission: We desire to help people become Gospel-Driven, Ever-Growing followers of Jesus Christ.

This statement of mission reminds us that based on why we are here, what are we to do?  We are to join God in His work in helping people become who He wants them to become.  We sense that people driven by the Gospel will be continually growing in the Gospel; showing the fruit of following Jesus Christ.
