To know Jesus and make Him known.
Building lives on the unshakable foundation of Jesus Christ. This is who we are, why we exist and what guides us as a church family.
Know Him. Make Him known.
Our vision comes from Philippians 3:10: “That I may know Him, and the power of His resurrection.” It carries two inseparable dimensions.
To know Jesus
- A personal relationship with Jesus: understanding His heart through the Scriptures, obedience and surrender to His teachings, and transformation of life by the Holy Spirit.
- A calling to reveal Christ to other people.
To make Him known
When someone truly knows Jesus, it becomes practically impossible to keep Him hidden:
- Proclaiming the gospel
- Living a life that reflects His character
- Serving others with His love
- Pointing people to Him through words and actions
We cannot truly reveal Christ to others unless we keep growing in knowing Him. We know Him through relationship; we make Him known through love, witness and discipleship.
It is both a personal journey and a global mission.
To honor His last words.
Matthew 28:19–20. We do this by focusing on four things.
Bring them in
Invite and welcome people into the community of faith so they can encounter God and feel that they belong.
Sit them down
Help them settle into the life of the church by grounding them in teaching, fellowship and spiritual foundations.
Bring them up
Disciple and nurture them so they grow in maturity, in character and in their understanding of Christ.
Send them out
Commission and release them to serve, minister and share the gospel with their gifts, in the local church, in our cities and in the world.
What guides us.
The Word of God
The inspired Scriptures that reveal God’s truth, guide our faith and shape how we live as followers of Christ.
Loving one another
Demonstrating Christ’s love through kindness, unity, forgiveness and genuine care for one another.
Discipleship
The intentional process of helping believers grow in their relationship with Christ and learn to live according to His teachings.
Worship
Honoring and glorifying God with our hearts, voices and lives in response to who He is and what He has done.
Prayer
Communicating with God through speaking, listening, thanksgiving and intercession, as we depend on Him in every aspect of life.
