Church motto:  Knowing Jesus and Making Him Known

As a short purpose statement:
We seek to know Jesus Christ as our personal Lord and Savior.  Through prayer and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, we desire to worship God with all our hearts and to learn and obey Gods Word. Because God first loved us, we continually strive to love our neighbors as we love ourselves and to make Jesus known through evangelism and service.

Three Purposes of the Church:
1. Our foremost purpose in this life, as individuals and as a church, is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength.  We express such love first by individually entrusting our lives to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and then by seeking to become like Christ in every way. By means of the indwelling Holy Spirit, we exalt God in personal and congregational praise, worship, and prayer and we are devoted to teaching and learning the Bible in order to deepen our relationship with Him.

2. Our second purpose as the Body of Christ is to love our neighbors as ourselves because Christ first loved us.  By the enabling power of the Holy Spirit, we will extend to one another healing, hope, grace, and encouragement so that each person may grow to be more like Jesus and be empowered to do all He commands.  We acknowledge that we are imperfect vessels. However, we will care for one another by striving to put others before ourselves.

3. Our third purpose is to go and preach the Good News to all peoples, baptizing and discipling them into the life and fellowship of the church, teaching them to obey all of Christs commandments.   We will seek out the lost,  lonely, poor, and hurting with whom we have contact in our schools, workplaces, communities, and neighborhoods, in order that they, too, may experience the joy and peace of a personal relationship with Jesus. As new believers we will train and equip them that one day they themselves will go make disciples. We will do all these things because it was first done for us and we desire to please our Lord.
