Our Vision, Core Values, and Strategic Goal


Our Vision

From generation to generation, we will seek to proclaim the good news of 
God’s grace by following the example of Jesus Christ who ministered to the 
needs of others through teaching, serving, and loving God and neighbors.

Our Core Values

To worship God in a reverent and dignified manner utilizing scripture, 
music, prayer, and the ordinances of communion and baptism;

To participate in hands-on mission activities both locally and globally, 
and to support mission endeavors through the
 
Cooperative Baptist Fellowship;

To fellowship as a community of faith through prayer support, care and 
compassion, as well as laughter and recreation;

To live out a theology that recognizes the priesthood of all believers,
the autonomy of the local church, open inquiry of scripture,
the leadership of men and women in ministry,
and grace-filled acceptance of persons of all walks of life;

To encourage spiritual growth through meaningful Bible study,
Sunday School classes, prayer meetings, and special studies;

To minister to the unique needs of a multi-generational congregation by 
providing ministry to children, youth, adults, and senior adults with a 
commitment to reach out to our community and seek to bring
others into our fellowship;
