We seek to glorify God by growing into the full stature of his Son Jesus Christ. We live out this faith by serving Christ both inside and outside the church walls in all the people we meet.
Our Mission
Making and growing disciples of Jesus Christ through...
Worship
Worship is the foundation of all we do: as we hear God’s word spoken to us, and as we see his word broken for us, we are then nourished on him and remade into the Body of Christ. We seek to worship the Lord through excellent music, Gospel-centered preaching, and engaging liturgy.
Formation
Formation is the invitation to respond to grace by learning to love God with our entire being. We are committed to offering holistic programming that touches, heals, and equips each generation to follow Jesus Christ and love one’s neighbor.
Mission
Mission calls us forth as we respond to Jesus, who says, “As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” (John 20:21) Mission happens as we are sent out to be, like Jesus, poured out for others: the stranger, the poor, the widow, the orphan, and our neighbors. (James 1:27)
