Who We Are…
We are a Great Commission church, with a Great Commandment heart.
Matthew 28:19-20 (Great Commission)
“Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew 22:36-40 (Greatest Commandments)
“Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.”
Our Mission is…
To help people love God and to love others.
1 –“HELP PEOPLE” – Walking together to become more like Jesus. (Great Commission)
2 -“LOVE GOD” – Knowing and trusting God and responding to His love. (Greatest Commandment)
3 -“LOVE OTHERS” – Seeking to know others and to love them where they are at. (Second Greatest Commandment)
