Mission & Values
Our Mission
Living the Gospel to inspire upstate families toward a lasting priority (John 4).
Our Values
Life by the Book - The Bible is the revelation of our God's person and His plan to redeem mankind by the work and person Jesus Christ. We believe it is only by God's Word that man receives salvation (Romans 10:17) and grows for good work (2 Timothy 3:17).
Life in Progress - We as God's children are on a salvation journey which began at conversion and continues in growth and service until coming to fruition at death or Christ's return. We believe we as a people and as individuals are to...grow (Romans 12:1-2), imitate (Ephesians 5:1-2), defend (1 Peter 3:14-16), serve (1 John 3:18), and multiply (John 4:28-29).
Life in Last - We seek to inspire two groups towards a deeper love in and for Christ: our world and each other (Matthew 22:37-40).
Life with Others - We seek to see our large church break down into groups who love and care for one another by doing life together. We believe life together means sharing and serving in a common faith (Hebrews 10:19-25).
Life in Focus - We believe God calls us to a focused life in Christ and expects our attention to show by way of worship, giving, and service (Hebrews 12:1-2; 2 Timothy 4:7-8).
