Servanthood

Resource Investment
Believers utilize all their God-given gifts, including time, talent and money, in ministry and missions locally and around the world.
These passions are a result of our relationship with Jesus Christ. They serve as a model for what a follower of Jesus looks like. It is the goal of each believer to develop these passions in his or her daily life. That is why our church has adopted these passions as our purpose statement. We use them to guide our ministry planning. The idea is really a simple one. Since the church is a local gathering of disciples, the church should care about the same things God wants His followers to care about.
