Vision, Mission & Beliefs
Vision
Our vision is to be a church without walls. All too often, churches create unnecessary barriers to faith. Politics, socioeconomic status, racial or ethnic background can be divisive in our culture, but we are committed to the truth that the gospel is for everyone.
As a church without walls, we are committed to living missionally. This means that we prioritize local and international missions. We encourage all of our members to “Love One” by intentionally investing in the life of one person in their life. We also support local and international missions points.
Mission
Our mission is about connecting to God, connecting to others, and connecting others to God.
Connecting to God means that we value worship. Each week we gather to celebrate Jesus. Our worship services include songs, biblical teaching (we often study entire books of the Bible), and weekly communion.
Connecting to others means that we value community. We think a church is a spiritual family. In addition to Sunday mornings, we gather in groups throughout our area.
Connecting others to God means that faith is always meant to be shared. As a church without walls we value missions and sharing our faith with others.
