OUR PURPOSE
"Connecting People with God"
God wants to be in relationship with us...
(For God so loved the world)
that God would do anything...
(gave the only begotten son)
to connect with us.
(so that those who believe might have everlasting life--John 3:16 paraphrase)
Our purpose is to connect all people with God, with each other, with deeper spirituality, and in service to the world using:
- Worship
- Small groups
- Education
- Spiritual practices
