Our Vision & Mission

We commit ourselves to making prayer the highest priority of the church demonstrated by:

Becoming a house of prayer for all
Emphasizing communication with God as the highest privilege
Modeling by all church leadership of an active and effective prayer life
Uniting with other believers in corporate and intercessory prayer.

(Isa. 56:7; Mark 11:17; Rom. 8:26; 1 Cor. 14:14; 1 Thess. 5:17; 1 Tim. 2:1-4, 8; James 5:14, 15)

We commit ourselves to gather regularly as the local expression of the Body of Christ to participate in Pentecostal worship that exalts God, engages the heart, mind and soul, and challenges to deeper commitment and discipleship by:

Planning and preparing for meaningful, anointed worship
Equipping pastors and other worship leaders to lead authentically expressed, spiritually alive worship
Modeling varying styles and forms of worship that glorify God and encouraging outreach and service
Emphasize the importance of Biblical stewardship and the centrality of God’s Word as elements of worship

(John 4:24; Psalm 29:2; Rom. 12:1; 1 Cor. 12:4-11; Isa. 58; Mat. 25:31-46)

We commit ourselves to intentionally reaching the unconverted, baptizing them in water, and leading them to unite with the church by:

Viewing all the nations of the world as our mission field
Cultivating a genuine passion for the lost that will compel members to personally communicate the gospel of Jesus and demonstrate His love to those outside the faith.
Discipling new believers and passing on our faith to the next generation

(Mat. 9:37-38; Mat. 28:19-20; Mark 16:15-18; Acts 1:8 Rom. 10:13-15)

We commit ourselves to identifying and developing individuals whom God has called and given leadership gifts and challenging them to become servant-leaders by:

Creating an environment in which men and women with ministry gifts are developed to serve as servant-leaders
Equipping, empowering and releasing lay leaders to serve as ministry partners both inside and outside the local church
Encouraging pastors to lead through vision, to communicate the vision to the congregation and to organize the body and each of its ministry groups so the vision can be realized

(Mark 3:13-15; 2 Tim. 2:2; 2:15; 3:14-17; Eph. 4:11-13)

We commit ourselves to the challenge of being a church that genuinely cares for one another and for those who are lost, hurting and needy by:

Building loving, caring relationships within families, between members, and within the communities we serve
Obeying the Care Commission of Christ in Matthew 25
Cultivating compassion and showing mercy to the unloved, the undesirable and the unreached of our society
Establish an outreach ministry that demonstrates our genuine concern and love for the disadvantaged or oppressed

(Psa. 86:15; Mat. 25; Luke 6:36; Acts 20:28)

We commit ourselves to the principle of interdependence, acknowledge our interconnectedness and dependence on all the members of the Body of Christ by:

Reaching out to others in the Body of Christ for collaboration, resource sharing and learning opportunities
Involving clergy in the processes of mentoring, coaching and consulting on the local, state, regional, national and international levels to increase the level of trust and support among ministers
