Loving God, loving people
Founded on the word of God and its interpretation in the EC Articles of Faith, our mission is Loving God, Loving People. Loving God, loving people. (Matthew 22:37-39). We pursue this mission four ways: Worship – We express our love for God by celebrating him in worship both as a community and in our personal lives. (Matthew 22:37; 1 Corinthians 10:31; Romans 12:1; Psalms 145-150) Discipleship – We pursue Jesus by continually learning and being transformed into his image. (Romans 8:29; 1 John 3:16; Luke 9:23-24; 2 Timothy 2:2; 1 John 2:6) Fellowship – We delight in being with one another, building authentic, accountable, healthy relationships. (John 13:34-35; 1 John 3:11-24; James 5:16) Outreach – We reach out to our neighbors, proclaiming the love of Jesus through word and deed beyond our four walls to our community and around the world. (Matthew 22:39; Luke 4:18-20) Core Values: These are the values God has given us that help us accomplish the actions of the mission. Biblical – We look to the Bible, which is alive and relevant in our daily lives, to guide us. Culturally Sensitive – As a part of culture, we express the Kingdom of God in ways that reach people where they are. Intentionally Simple – We are committed to doing a few important things well. Passionately Spiritual – We strive to pursue a deep, rich, vibrant prayerful walk with God. Missional – As individuals and as a community of faith, together with all Christ-followers, we participate in the work of God’s Kingdom in this world. |
