  • Mission

    Our mission has always been clear, we are called to Love God, Love People, and Live out the Gospel wherever Christ calls us. We believe this is exactly what Jesus meant in Mark 12:30-31 when He said " Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’  The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  There is no commandment greater than these.”

    Vision

    By 2027, we are asking God for 500 baptized, self-feeding, disciple-making followers of Jesus who intentionally live out the gospel so that it shapes their life and their oikos.

    OIKOS

    We believe everyone has influence with 8 to 15 people.  We believe these are the people that God has supernaturally placed in your life that you might lead them to Jesus.  This 8 to 15 people is what we call your "OIKOS" - We will do our best to empower you to pray for, invest in, and invite your OIKOS to a relationship with Jesus Christ.

  • OUR CORE VALUES ARE THE CODE WE LIVE BY

    1. Rooted in the Bible
