Our Vision

We exist to glorify God by:

by Celebrating the greatness of God, by Educating the people of God, and by Motivating believers to holiness, service, and evangelism.


We want to make our vision of Celebration, Education, Motivation a reality by:

  • having our public worship a celebration of joyful praise to our great God
  • having our education a clear and concise teaching of the Word of God
  • having our motivation flow from the example of Jesus in holiness, service, and evangelism
