dream community of faith; one formed out of a deep passion and rebellion - a passion for christ and helping the lost, and a rebellion against the status quo

 

Excellence Honors God and Motivates People: I am committed to Christ and Outreach, and believe we need to “get off our butts, and into the streets” to share the Gospel with those seeking to find God in their lives.  I firmly believe in excellence in ministry, worship and all things we do for God

 

personal mission

statement: 

  To be part of a community of faith looking to be a relevant and regional force in the community for Christ. Where, as its DNA, the community desires a vision, and plan, to help develop followers in their individual walk with Christ and seek to plant other churches over time

 

personal vision statement:  To bring the Gospel to this generation of not-yet-believers in a dynamic, relevant way; and be outside the box

 

key life scripture:  "Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympatric, be loving, be compassionate, be humble.  That goes for all of you, no exceptions.  No retaliation.  No sharp-tongued sarcasm.  Instead, bless - that's your job, bless.  You'll be a blessings and also get a blessing." (1 Peter 3:8-9, The Message)
