OUR MISSION AND VISION
Mission
Our mission is to spread the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in
accordance with His great commission which is recorded in Matthew 28, vs.
19 and 20: “Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them
to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with
you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
Vision
Our vision is to be a Church that lets the light of Jesus shine through us to
the world, to be a place of harmony where unconditional love, peace and
grace abound. We seek to be a nurturing Church where Christians mature
through Christian education and instruction, a place where ministers are
called and from which evangelists are sent. We will give of ourselves and
our resources to assist those in need within our congregation and community.
In all things endeavor-ing together in one mind and one accord toward the
up building of the Kingdom of the Lord.
We will make practical application of our mission and vision by making 5
