Treasuring Christ Supremely
Jesus, in His magnificent grace, calls sinners from death to life, that we may see Him as the Supreme Treasure! The aim of the believers' life is to Treasure Jesus above everything else. We do this by daily denying ourselves, taking up our cross, and following Christ, for His glory. As we increasingly Treasure Jesus, He is magnified in and thorugh us. Practically, we aim to lead others to Treasure Christ Supremely through regularly encouraging one another in the truth of the Bible to turn in faith to Jesus as the Supreme Treasure.
"The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field."
- Matthew 13:44
- Matthew 13:44
Embracing Gospel Community Daily
Gospel Community is the work of God to bind believers together as one, with Christ, in supernatural love. In Christ, God has provided us with the Church, which is family! We are called together as one body, in the Holy Spirit, to build one another up in love and good works, to the glory of God! When we embrace Gospel Community, we are safeguarded from the deceitfulness of sin and strenghtned to Treasure Christ Supremely! Paul encouraged the church in Ephesus, "through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places." Practically, we aim to magnify the glory of God by providing weekly gatherings and encouraging bleievers to Embrace Gospel Community.
"But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin."

Engage in God's Mission Personally
Having expereinced the beauty of God's Gospel, which is our salvation, we are invited to join God in His global mission! Gods' mission is His eternal plan of redeeming for Himself a people from all nations to enjoy Him for all eterntiy in heaven. We have the beautiful joy of joining God in this mission by magnifying the Gospel of the grace of God, into all the earth! Each of us are individually called to take part in this mission. And as a church family, we join in sending and supporting the work of missions to the ends of the earth. Practically, we are to day-by-day declare the excellencies of He who called us out of darkness and into marvelous light.
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
