Reaching
We Exist To Communicate God's Word!
Our mission is to share the gospel with others. There are three reasons for doing so:

God Loves People
The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentence.
~ 2 Peter 3:9

God Commands Us To Reach Out
Then the master told his servant, "Go out to the roads and country lanes and make them come in, so that my house will be full."
~ Luke 14:23

God's Will Is For His Church To Grow
He has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow
~ Colossians 2:19

Teaching
We exist To Educate God's People!
Our mission is to equip believers to grow spiritually.

It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
~ Ephesians 4:11-13

Caring
We Exist To Demonstrate God's Love!
Our mission is to meet the needs of others in Jesus' name.

Every member is a minister.
Every task is important.
All men will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.
~ John 13:35

Sharing
We Exist To Encourage God's Family!
Our mission is to share our lives through loving friendships and relationships.

As we grow larger we must grow smaller.
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowhip, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
~ Acts 2:42

Praising
We Exist To Celebrate God's Presence!
Our mission is to express love to God and His worthiness of praise. There are 6 expressions of worship:

Singing
Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord,
~ Ephesians 5:19

Praying
Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
~ Psalms 95:6

Giving
Now about the collection for God's people: Do what I told the Galatian churches to do. On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with his income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made.
~ 1 Corinthians 16:1-2

Hearing the Word
Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.
~ John 17:17

Meditation
But the Lord is his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him.
~ Habakkuk 2:20

Ordinances
Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
~ Romans 6:3-4
Serving
We exist to serve God; it's all about Him!
You were shaped for God's service, uniquely formed by Him for His glory.  Come discover your purpose in serving Him as you serve others.

Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men,  because you know that the Lord will reward everyone for whatever good he does...
~ Ephesians 6:7

Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering Godıs grace...
~ 1 Peter 4:10
