The words of our purpose statement are printed on every document that leaves our office, every bulletin at worship, and are even inscribed on our ceiling in the Gathering Area:
Grounded in faith, gathered in love, and sent with a purpose;
So that others may gain the Kingdom!
But what do these words mean? Simply this:
 That our common ground is belief in the fact that forgiveness and Life are found in our faith in Jesus Christ. It’s not about the good things we do, or the bad things we do, but in the great thing that Christ did on the cross. - We don’t always agree with one another, but we are committed to love one another as family. Regardless of race, age, gender, economic status or academic achievement, we are sisters and brothers.
- We do not see our primary task as taking place in the church building, but outside it. We seek to live our faith in word and deed, knowing that we might be the only sermon some people ever see.
- Ultimately, we do not seek to grow our congregation, but to expand the Kingdom of God!
