Our Mission

To make new disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of the world.
This mission is inspired by Christ’s call to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” (Matthew 28:18-20) Jesus is the “Why” behind our mission. To accomplish this mission we have a strategy of helping others to Know Christ (Philippians 3:10) Grow together (Matthew 18:20) and Go serve the world (Acts 1:8). Everything we do as a church is driven by one of these three things.

Our Beliefs

What we believe serves as the foundation of our faith.

In the book of John we read that “...these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:31) As Christians we join with countless believers throughout history in claiming The Bible as all sufficient for Christian faith and practice. As Methodists we are distinct in emphasizing God’s grace and in our practice of the sacraments of baptism and communion as ways to experience God’s grace.
