Our third core value is MISSIONS: We are passionate about telling people about Jesus all over the planet. Mark 16:15 says, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation." We believe that every church, regardless of size, can have a global reach. For believers to be healthy, they have to have a love for the world (John 3:16) like the Father has a love for the world. Our love for the world is put into practical action in four ways.
1. Pray: We pray for people to find salvation in Jesus and we pray for missionaries who we help to send out.
2. Give: We encourage every Christian to give to missions and missionary work. This must be responsible, accountable and as personal as possible. We host 12 to 13 missionary guests through the year so that our church can meet personally the missionaries we are helping to send out.
3. Go: We encourage every believer to go on at least one mission trip in their life. It can be a trip that is relatively local or it can be international. We send disaster relief teams to regional disasters. We also send youth and adults on overseas missionary jobs.
4. Serve: We encourage every believer to serve the lost in love. We are continually striving to improve ways to serve our community. Our goal in loving acts of service is to simply show the love of Jesus. The love of Jesus is powerful and makes people think about their creator, their life, and the state of their relationship with God.
