OUR
MISSION STATEMENT
“HELPING PEOPLE
TO KNOW AND
SHARE THE LOVE OF CHRIST,” is what helps us to express
our ministry here in the community. Very simply stated it
says that we are about helping anyone who desires to be on a
faith journey to come to know the amazing love, the grace of
God who is in the gift of Jesus Christ, who died on the
cross for all people and then share that gift, that
understanding, that joy, that message with others.
Get
it...
Got it....
Give it away!!!!

LOOKING
FOR
MEANING AND PURPOSE?
Aren’t we all? God
invites us to know him and his love and in so doing we will
find meaning and purpose in our living. According to Pastor
Rick Warren in his book, The Purpose Driven Life,
there are 5 purposes God has given us for our living: We are
created to bring pleasure, glory and honor to God. We are
created to live in the fellowship of God’s eternal family.
We are to grow in becoming more Christ like in our
character. We are called to serve others by using our
gifted-ness from God. We are created to introduce others to
Jesus Christ.
How can we do this? Glad you asked...
God provides us the church – HIS CHURCH – in which to live
out these 5 purposes. Look around, there is lots going on
and many ways for you to live out the 5 purposes for your
life and thereby honor God with who you are and what you are
about. Life will be rich and full, and loving and
purposeful. Come worship, come serve, come learn and come be
in fellowship with other believers.

on May 19th and are encouraging everyone to wear red to church on this
Sunday. Pentecost represents God’s gracious, enabling
presence actively at work among His people, calling and
enabling them to live out in dynamic ways the witness of
being His people. The red symbolizes both the fire of
Pentecost as well as the apostles and early followers of
Jesus who were gathered in the Upper Room for the
empowerment from God to proclaim the Gospel throughout the
world. Please join us for worship at either 9:00 or 11:00
