Vision, Strategy and Values
GOD’S HEARTBEAT…AND OURSWhat does God really care about? What is He really up to in this world? We don’t have to guess, because God has told us! His passion is to make disciples of Jesus (Matthew 28:19). He calls us to worship Him, to love each other, and to influence others for Him! We have spent this past year trying to align our heartbeat with God’s. As a result, we have written some statements that will guide our church into the future.
