Connecting people to Jesus, helping them grow in their faith and equipping all to serve – this is not just something we say, but is the journey to becoming a disciple of Jesus. It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, what you have in your past or even your current, we invite you to join us on this journey.
CONNECTing people to Jesus
We believe the message of the gospel of Jesus is the hope of the world. We desperately desire that people be connected to Jesus to experience that hope, to experience His love, grace, mercy, forgiveness and the true life that is found in Him alone. Connecting to Jesus though, also means disconnecting – it means turning away from sin and turning to a love indescribable. It means understanding your brokenness but that Jesus is still waiting to accept you. There is true life in Jesus.
Help people to GROW in their faith
Connecting to Jesus happens in an instant when a decision is made to recognize Him for who He is, repent of sin, and follow Him. Whether you decided to follow Jesus today or a long time ago, growing in your faith in Jesus is a process and that process was never meant to happen in isolation. Taking Next Steps toward to grow as a follower of Jesus is crucial but that happens best and most authentically in the context of community. Get plugged in to a small group.
Equipping all to SERVE
As people grow in their faith, serving should be a natural overflow. This comes in two forms – Volunteer in the church and Multiply. Volunteer in the church – With the church being the vehicle by which God chose to get the message of the gospel of Jesus to the world, the church is crucial. We believe that every follower of Jesus has a gift that we as a local church cannot fully function without and thus we work to help people find the place of service in the church that God designed them for. Multiply – Some of Jesus’ last words were telling His disciples to go make more disciples (Matthew 28:18-20). That is not only a command to Jesus’ disciples but to us to do and be about that same thing – making disciples.
