Our Mission

We are called to intentionally share the love and salvation of Jesus Christ, following the guidance and direction of God in all that we do.

Our Vision

Our vision is to be a Christ-centered congregation whose core values are evident in every aspect of our church life. Guided by these values, we seek to grow in Christlikeness and to live out the two greatest commandments given by our Lord:

“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Matthew 22:37)
“And this is love: that we walk in obedience to his commands.” (2 John 6)

We trust in God's faithfulness to lead us in all areas of our spiritual journey. Therefore, we are committed to being a church body that walks in obedience to Scripture. Through intentional discipleship, faithful worship, and reliance on God’s provision, we strive to become a unified Body of Christ that honors and glorifies our Lord.
