What are the ministry priorities of the church?
Our church exists to be an instrument of God's Spirit in assisting children, youth, and adults to become fully devoted followers of Jesus.
To help us accomplish our mission we encourage each person in several areas we call the "The Five G's" - Grace, Growth, Groups, Gifts, and Good Stewardship.
Grace
We want people to accept and experience God's grace, God's unmerited favor to us. God so loved the world that God gave Jesus so that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Jesus said he came that we might have life and have it abundantly. He came so his joy might be in us and so that our joy may be complete.
Growth
We want to help people Grow spiritually by learning how to cultivate spiritual habits in their lives that enable them to grow closer to God and to experience God more fully.
Groups
Members of our church are encouraged to participate in the life of some Small Group in order to learn, serve, and to develop relationships. We have a wide variety of group options available for people of all ages.
Gifts
We believe every follower of Jesus has a Spiritual Gift that God has given to be used for the common good. Our spiritual gifts vary according to who we are, but all of us have a significant contribution to make that can help other people and enable us to be fulfilled in the process.
Good Stewardship
The final "G" is Good Stewardship. Each person at our church is a minister who serves with his or her time, spiritual gifts, and money. The Bible teaches us to support the work of ministry as God has blessed us financially. In all the ways we give, we do so believing that in giving of ourselves we are blessed through our giving in a variety of ways.
