Our Mission and Vision

“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: (Eph 4:11-12 KJV).

We purpose to build disciples of Jesus Christ by empowering people to walk out the Gospel and impact the world around them. Our vision is to gather, shepherd, encourage, confirm, and release into ministry those individuals God joins with us, as well as to develop, establish and oversee foundational expressions of Christian worship, training, prayer, and service.

How God Speaks

God is so awesome. He is continually speaking to His people in such a great variety of ways. Prayer, of course, is a primary way, if we are still enough in our conversation with Him to hear what He is saying! The Bible, God's own word is another primary way He speaks to us. When the logos becomes rhema for us as we read, it is a marvelous moment for sure. Circumstances are another way He directs us. We just have to have discernment as to what we accept as God's direction and what we stand against as the enemy's work. God uses books so much to speak to me, and its usually a book that has been on my shelf for years sometimes. I bought it with intentions of reading it "someday" and sure enough, He brings up those somedays when the book says what I need to hear. My current read is just such a book, "What on Earth is the Church For?" by David Devenish. The subtitle is, "A blueprint for the future for church-based missions and social action." If you want to read something that will shake up your theology a bit and inspire you to move in new directions, I'd recommend it to you.
