Our Vision
Being fully committed to the scriptural truth that Jesus Christ is the only hope of and for the world; and believing that God's children are yearning for spiritual renewal and Christ-centered living; and recognizing the challenge of Jesus to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, we, as a local body of baptized believers, covenant with each other, under God:
To make the kingdom of God the priority in our own personal lives.
To be living light and example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.
To carry the message of Christ unto all men everywhere in keeping the commands of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ; and in anticipation of his glorious return.
To give ourselves unto prayers and the ministry of the Word.
To dedicate the energies and resources of the ministries we lead to seeking first the King and His kingdom.
To cooperate with each other and other bodies/churches of Southern Baptists as we pursue kingdom principles and practices.
To give ourselves to servant leadership that will assist and enable local churches in their ministry.
To pray that a new passion for Jesus breaks out among our people, our families, and our churches from which God can forge a spiritual movement marked by holy living, sacrificial service, and global witness.
To this end we affirm Empowering Kingdom Growth as a call for us to seek first the King and His kingdom.
