Mission - Vision - Core - Values

Mission

We strive to share God’s love by creating safe places where all are accepted and welcomed, connecting the needs of people in the presence of God, and transforming the world through Christ.

Vision

We see strong leaders who develop vital congregations that eagerly make new disciples, actively nurture existing disciples, and passionately advocate for the needs and concerns of all people.

Core Values

The values that drive us are deep love for God and unconditional love for all people.

We value collaboration and partnerships that demonstrate God’s love to a world that divides and alienates.
We value relationships that foster accountability, excellence, and an ability to engage in open, honest, and respectful conversations.
We value the hope that we have in Christ that, when discovered, brings us a unity of purpose, a joy that enlivens our spirit, and a peace that surpasses all understanding.
