OUR MISSION
We exist to rebuild broken places and awaken God-given dreams.
Our mission is to awaken, rebuild and engage a broken world. When Jesus makes His home in our hearts, we truly come alive--we awaken our spiritual senses. Before Jesus returned to be with the Father in heaven, He gave us a command to make disciples of all the nations. Matthew 28:19 states, “Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.” By obeying Jesus’ commission, we are rebuilding our lives, character, thoughts and actions as His disciples. We must be equipped with confidence and wisdom in the Lord so that we may discover how God wants to use us to accomplish His will. Our heart is to engage and activate the God-given gifts inside each one of us. By sharing the truth and fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, we are embracing the covenant promises He prepared for you and me.
OUR VALUES
We must stand planted on the firm foundation of the Word of God. Our full reliance must be on Jesus Christ.
-
The Bible is true.
2 Timothy 3:16 - All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.
-
Jesus is a big deal. Prayer and worship is a priority.
Matthew 7:7 - “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you.”
Ephesians 5:19 - singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts.
-
Serve and lead by example.
Matthew 23:11 - The greatest among you must be a servant.
-
Be authentic.
Romans 12:10 - Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.
-
Gather, celebrate and enjoy family.
Hebrews 10:25 - And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
-
Connect before we correct in love.
1 Corinthians 13:1-3 - If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
-
Our words are powerful - testimony brings victory!
Revelation 12:11 - And they have defeated him by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony. And they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.
-
The gospel is simple.
Matthew 19:14 - But Jesus said, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to those who are like these children.”
-
You are gifted for greatness.
1 Corinthians 7:7b - Yet each person has a special gift from God, of one kind or another.
-
Multiply the seed to make disciples who make disciples.
Matthew 28:18-20 - Jesus came and told his disciples, “I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
