VALUES   Equip Edify Tapping into the
sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit, we will
work to transform peoples' lives, build up the
family, and call people beyond membership to
radical discipleship. We will equip and edify lay
people to be lay leaders and mature disciples of
Jesus Christ. We will invest to develop people in
ministry, knowing this is a wise investment that
will pay dividends for God's kingdom. Insofar as
the Spirit builds people, they will build
ministry and further God's work. We intentionally
minister to children and youth in our community,
as they form the foundation of the future.

Because all people matter to God, this
congregation exists to seek, welcome and reach

aspire to innovate and find new and creative ways
of doing ministry. Sharing the good news of Jesus
permeates everything we do. God wants us to reach
out and share his love, forgiveness and new life
through Christ with all people in word and deed
(Romans 116).
