POINTING PEOPLE TO JESUS!
Our vision and core values are what drives us and keeps us on track as a church. These are the things we’ll give our lives for.
We will always go back to these statements as a reminder of what God has called us to.
Our Mission Statement
To point people into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
Our Vision
To be an ever-growing network of reproducing disciples and churches who saturate Northeast Iowa and beyond with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Our Core Values
- CONNECT
Growing spiritually doesn't happen when we know what Jesus says. It happens when we apply what he says. Application happens best within the context of community; that’s why circles are better than rows. To grow spiritually, you have to be connected relationally. We want each person to be involved in a group where we learn to apply God’s Word. (Discover Classes, LIFE/DBS Groups, Men’s & Women’s groups, Student Ministry)
- SERVE
We find purpose in service, which leads to life change. Whether you serve on a ministry team in our church, in our community, or in the world, God calls us to serve one another. Without your service the church cannot be all that we’re called to be. We encourage each partner to find an area where they can give back to others and help fulfill the mission of the church.
- GIVE
When in a relationship with Christ, we believe our Heavenly Father calls each of us to give of our time, talent, and treasure so that others may experience a restored relationship as well. Your financial support of generosity to the local church and Great Commission Fund enables us to continue pointing others to Jesus in our community & around the globe. Tithing 10% of our income to the local church is the biblical standard.
- INVITE
The church does not exist for us, but for the world. We carry the message of hope, a message that needs to be shared with everyone! When you're fully involved in the life of a church, God uses other people to help you grow, and he uses you to help grow other people. Jesus invited people to follow him all the time, and so we follow his lead. Because, when you follow Jesus it makes life better and it makes you better at life. Invite someone to take a next step toward Jesus today!
