Mission & Vision

GATHER TO WORSHIP ~ DEPART TO SERVE

Worship is not a place, but an encounter.  Worship is where we meet God.  And so all that we do when we gather as community in the name of the Triune God is worship.

We depart to serve because we gather to be sent by God with his blessing into his world to participate in his mission to love, bless, and free all people. 

The church was created to be the Body of Christ - a living and active community of believers to carry on Christ's work in the world.  This a diverse community where ALL ARE WELCOME.  To live into and out of our diversity, Christ the King, we do not aim to break people into "like-kind" groups of men and women, adults and children.  Instead we come together as one body, united in Christ.
