What We Value

Motto

“Changed Lives, Changing Lives”

“This same Good News that came to you is going out all over the world. It is changing lives everywhere, just as it changed yours that very first day you heard and understood the truth about God’s great kindness to sinners.” (Col. 1:6 NLT)
What this means to us:
1. By the blood of Jesus Christ we have been changed. That is, we have been born again, transformed, from the inside out.
2. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we are still changing. We are still undergoing the life-long process of sanctification (becoming like Christ).
3. By the commandment of God we are called to go and bring that life-change to others. We have the joyful obligation to share the good news (evangelism) and the good life (discipleship) with others
