Our ongoing mission is bringing people to Jesus Christ.
All
our ministries and programs are focused on accomplishing this task.
According to the Great Commission from Jesus to his disciples recorded
in the gospel of Matthew 28:19-20, we invest our time and energy in
proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ and in making disciples for him:
"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching
them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you
always, to the very end of the age." It is because of this that our
church exists to be an instrument of God's Spirit in assisting
children, youth, and adults to become fully devoted followers of Jesus
Christ.
Historicaly, we are an America Baptist Church in partnership with
other churches around the world. In faithfulness to Jesus Christ we
seek to minister to the spiritual, emotional, physical and social needs
of the individuals and families that make up our church and of those
beyond our church walls.
Last year our church committed much time and energy in a
self-evaluating process. We went through the REVISION program to look
at ourselves to discover the state of our church. It was a life
transforming process for many of us. We polished our mission, and we
determined the four areas that will allow us to have an ongoing
assessment of how we live our mission statement and how we translate it
into action. These four major areas are: Worship, Outreach, Structure,
and Communications
