1) To glorify God means to magnify His greatness—not making Him bigger than He is, but making His beauty and goodness visible for all to see. Like a telescope brings the vastness of the stars into view, we want our lives and our church to bring the majesty of God into clear focus for our neighbors and the nations. The church is called to be a living picture of what God is like to the world.

2) We glorify God by making disciples—helping people come to know Jesus as Savior (evangelism) and teaching them to follow and obey Him (discipleship). Jesus’ final words in Matthew 28:18–20 are our first priority: to baptize and to teach, forming followers who learn, live, and replicate their faith in others.

3) Our mission reaches both our community and the nations (Acts 1:8; 2 Cor. 5:18–21). We are called to be witnesses and ambassadors for Christ—proclaiming His name locally, nationally, and globally until all know of His glory.

Jesus taught that the greatest commandment is to love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength (Mark 12:30). To treasure Him means to value Him above everything else—like the man who sold all he had for the treasure in a field or the pearl of great price (Matthew 13:44–45).

We are called to treasure him wholistically—or, as we like to say it, with our head, heart, and hands.

• Head – Knowing Jesus through the truth of His Word. Christianity is not blind faith, but informed faith—rooted in the conviction of what we know to be true.
• Heart – Loving Jesus with transformed affections. A true disciple’s desires are shaped by walking closely with Him.
• Hands – Serving Jesus through Spirit-led obedience. We are saved for good works, living each day as His hands and feet in the world.

When our knowledge, affections, and actions align with Christ, we reflect His love and truth to others, and we invite them to treasure Him too.

Our core values describe how we live out our mission and pursue our vision. They are the pathway to reaching our vision and accomplishing our mission.

1. Abide Dependently – We recognize we can do nothing apart from Christ (John 15:5). Every ministry and decision rests on prayerful dependence on Him.

2. Disciple Intentionally – Like Jesus, we invest our lives in others, helping them grow in faith through life-on-life discipleship (2 Tim. 2:2).

3. Equip Strategically – We train and prepare believers to serve Christ effectively in the church and the world (Eph. 4:11–12).

4. Live Missionally – We are called to be salt and light, using our everyday words and actions to point people to Jesus (Matt. 5:13–16).

5. Multiply Expectantly – We seek to reproduce disciples, leaders, and churches, trusting God to expand His kingdom locally and globally (Matt. 28:19–20).

6. Sacrifice Willingly – Following Jesus means offering our lives fully to Him, living with open hands for His purposes (Rom. 12:1–2).
