2. “To make disciples, that make disciples”
Our Mission
18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

5. Gospel Community
We were created to be relational with God and with others. Sin destroys these relationships. Christ rescues, redeems, and restores these and creates a gospel community called the church.
The church is designed to be one body, yet has many members and gifts as it functions.

6. “Camaraderie is built by shared experience, shared hardship, and shared purpose. Ranger leaders always look for ways to remind each man that he’s part of something important something bigger than himself…what an honor it was to belong to a group whose members pledged to cultivate an environment where men felt compelled not to be simply good, but better.
Church should be a place where I am reminded of the value of pursuing the cause of Christ, a place where I am encouraged to be not only good, but better. I want the church I attend to be like a tight- knit army unit, with a culture where brothers and sisters would share my beliefs and sense of purpose will keep me on track—and not hesitate to let me know if I’m becoming a liability to myself, my family or His purpose.” ~Chuck Holton
