And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.
Mathew 22:37-40 ESV
Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. 20 Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.
Mathew 28:19-20 NLT

Our Values
Mission
We believe that everyone is made on purpose and for a purpose. We are passionate about people connecting with God’s purpose for their lives.
Love
We believe in the high Biblical value of Love. To love God with all that we are and all that we have, because He first loved us. To love people. All people. Love is a verb.
(Luke 10:25-37, 1 John 3:18, 1 John 4:7-21, Mathew 5:43-44, Luke 6:27 and 1 Corinthians 13)
Formation
The belief in and practice of fundamental, essential and powerful spiritual disciplines. Such as the Word, prayer, worship, community, service and generosity.
Family
Modeling Christ’s love for His bride and the Father’s love for His children. We are committed to serving, equipping and strengthening the family structure because we believe it is a reflection of the heart of God. God honoring, Christ centered and Spirit empowered families are the basis for successful churches, communities, and ultimately, successful societies. Our heart is to see strong and healthy marriages, parents and kids being raised up as bright lights in a darkened world.
Joy
It’s not just our name, It’s who we are. We believe that serving God together as a community is the most enriching and fulfilling way to live. More than fun. More than happy. Joy!
