OUR VISION
Reach Up:
We were all meant to be in a real, right relationship with God: to receive forgiveness and salvation. This relationship allows us to grow in the areas of prayer and praise and for the baptism and indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Reaching up allows us to receive His promises for justice, provision, healing, direction, wisdom, spiritual gifts, and more.
Rise Up:
A real encounter with God changes lives. Whether He touches us in large group or small group meetings, in daily devotions, through worship, prayer, or any other number of ways, we need to rise up out of the things pulling us down, into a life of overcoming obstacles, and become loving disciples of Jesus Christ.
Reach Out:
A real relationship with God is a call to action. We want to empower people to get involved in God’s plan for their lives in order to advance to their fullest potential in Christ. When everyone does their part, the church naturally meets needs both locally and around the world through missions, evangelism, and any number of creative ministry endeavors.
