Our MissionSHARING THE LOVE OF JESUS
Our mission is to share the Love of Jesus through Worshiping, Witnessing, Nurturing, Serving and Fellowship with our members, our community and our world. And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matthew 28:18-19 Worshiping: “Living out one's relationship with God and the rest of creation.” Worship is communication between God and people. It can be verbal or non-verbal. It can take place individually or in groups. It can happen on a Sunday morning or at any given moment. See Romans 12:1. Witnessing: “Verbally sharing the message that the sacrifice of Jesus has paid for the sins of the world.” Our witness is based upon the eyewitness accounts found in the Bible as well as our own personal experience of that forgiveness. Our words are often supported by deeds, but the deeds without words are ambiguous. See 1 Peter 3:15. Nurturing: “Providing holistic care that enables people to grow.” This care may address physical, emotional, social, intellectual and spiritual needs. Providing such care nurtures the care receiver as well as the caregiver. See Ephesians 4:15-16. Serving: “Engaging in activities to accomplish tasks that meet specific needs of our selves and others.” Jesus provides for the needs of people through our actions. In the process of serving people we also serve Jesus. See Matthew 25:40. Fellowship: “Sharing what we have in common.” We gather as Christians to enjoy the relationship that we have with God and that we have with one another through Him. We invite others to experience these relationships with us. See 1 John 1:3-4.
