Evangelism, Edification , Extension and Exaltation.

Evangelism - We exist to reach lost and unchurched people
He said to them,"Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation"
(Mark 16:15)

We look for opportunities to share Christ through relationships, meeting peoples needs and serving others in his name.
Equipping - We exist to make disciples
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 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
(Eph 4:11-13)

We strive to establish people in the truth of God's word and help them to discover and develop their spiritual gifts, we belive that this will provide them the tools to minister in the church and in the community.
Extension - We exist to advance the kingdon of God
You, my brothers, were called to be free, But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature, rather, server on another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
(Galatians 5:13-14)

By demonstrating Christ's love, we endevor to impact our community and our society in positive ways that will honor Him.
Exaltation - We exist to glorify God
I will extol the LORD at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
My soul will boast in the LORD; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.
(Psalm 34:1-3)

We provide opportunities to worship the Lord through music and the arts that are both celebrative and reflective.
