OUR PURPOSETo be an outward-focused Church- To have an everlasting, positive impact for Jesus Christ upon individuals and our society. But also to be inward focused, in regards to equipping Christians to be outward focused! To grow numerically only for the desired outcome of growing in spiritual depth (i.e. holiness and communion with Christ). To be devoted to the apostles teaching, the breaking of bread, and the prayers and fellowship. The Lord then will add to His Church those being saved.

So God’s personal holiness and God’s love for sinful mankind were harmonized by the cross of Jesus Christ, and through saving faith in Jesus Christ, mankind can accept God’s offer and terms of pardon and eternal life:
