Our Mission

God has called this congregation to courageously represent the kingdom of God through witness, discipleship and service to others. We take seriously the Scriptures, prayer and the call to “do justice, love mercy and walk humbly before God” (Micah 3:8).

God is preparing us, through prophetic preaching and teaching, to bring the hope of the Gospel to our community and “take every thought captive to Christ.”
