A Church With a Mission
Faith is committed to “bringing people to faith and maturity in Christ.” This mission statement is the driving force behind everything we do, but it’s not a mission that we just made up. It’s the mission Jesus gave the Church from the beginning.
In Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus said to “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” That’s why our mission is to bring people to faith in Christ and bring them to maturity in Christ.
Our goal is not to make a name for ourselves. We want to make a difference in people’s lives, because that’s what God has called us to do. People in our society are feeling increasingly hopeless and isolated, and only faith in Jesus Christ and fellowship with other believers can satisfy that longing.
We also know that sometimes people need time to consider making a commitment to Christ. When you invite a friend to our church, you can rest assured they won’t feel pressured or judged, but loved and accepted.
