Our vision is to become a God glorifying, interdependent church that makes disciples of all nations and all generations by the power of the Gospel.
vision and values
-
In the Westminster Shorter Catechism, we are reminded that the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever. If that is the ultimate purpose of man, then it should also be reflected in the ultimate purpose of the church as the bride and body of Christ. (1 Cor. 10:31, Rev. 4:11, Ps. 73:25-26)

We use the phrase interdependent to describe our partnership with All Nations Onnuri Church, which is a Korean speaking ministry. We have intentionally chosen to acknowledge this reality and make it part of our vision. We describe our interdependence as "One Family, Two Churches, with One Great Commission." Their website can be found at anconnuri.com

We passionately believe that making disciples is the mission of the church (Matt. 28:19-21). Though there are many positive areas of ministry and service that the church is free to engage in, we believe that our primary calling as a church is to make disciples of Jesus Christ.
-
All Nations and All Generations is a reference to what it means for us to be missional. By All generations we affirm our belief in covenant and education ministry. We believe in discipling our children and being a blessing to our generational predecessors. Furthermore, by all nations, we want to participate in both global missions and have a local community presence. (Ps. 71:18, 78:4-8, 145:4, Eph. 3:21)

Our hope and confidence in making disciples of all nations and generations lies in the faithful proclamation of the Gospel and the matchless power of the Gospel. (Rom. 1:16, 1Thes. 1:5, Phil. 1:27)
